House Pics
These pics give a general idea of the feel and space of the house. The roofer has one more ‘must do’ and I need to get a housekeeper in (after the roofer) and then re-lease the house.
Aug/Sept Island Trip – Day 17
Closing up the trailer, house and property went well, if not a tad chaotically. I did this to myself both by staying up far too late to jump start the process, and then being tired in the morning. There is really no elegant or way to back out of the Island property. It involves running […]
Aug/Sept 2022 Island Trip – Day 16
The interior painting is done. The shower grout is as sealed as it’s been in 30-years, I took all the ‘money shots’ of the house for when I pull the trigger on advertising it for rent. I actually ran last night’s dinner dishes through the dishwasher along with the house’s cooktop’s grates… 96% of the […]
Aug/Sept Island Trip – Day 15
I put away the gray paint today, and am sure that the walls are rejecting it the same way the bathroom wall did the primer and white paint yesterday, just in subtler ways. But, I’m done with grey paint! And it looks great. Interior primer got taken out and put back away too. Tomorrow will […]
Aug/Sept 2022 Island Trip – Day 14
The best part of the day is that our buddy came over late afternoon and fixed the riding mower. I took it for a quick spin and it slays grass. He was pleased with how quickly the repair took, and how reasonable the rebuild kit cost. I am thrilled to have the rider back in […]
Aug/Sept 2022 Island Trip – Day 13
Today was more of the same, except I’m starting to see some completion in little bits and pieces. The interior primer and blue trim was put away! The grey paint is cut in at the baseboard all through the house as well. Everything else (I made a comprehensive list) is still a work in process. […]
Aug/Sept 2022 Island Trip – Day 12
Today’s to-do list directed me to tend to the walls on either side of the new tile installation above the fireplace. I was instantly and utterly defeated. There’s rot in the car deck ceiling on the right side, OSB bits stuck to the wall, mold (fixable), on and on… I had a shopping list for […]
Aug/Sept 2022 Island Trip – Day 11
With the cessation of dust and dirt making in the house, the first order of business was to vacuum it. Tomorrow’s activities will make dust all over again, but just for one day, it was nice to have the place ‘swept up.’ My neighbor to the east and I went on an excursion that lasted […]
Aug/Sept Island Trip – Day 10
It was a simple day… My DH finished insulating the lower barn, and I painted. He caught the mid-afternoon boat off the Island and returned home to our lonely cat.
