Raining today, temps in the low 60s, everybody is out. Over the weekend, Tom ordered eight tons of brick pavers for the patio. As you might recall, the previous owners took the patio with them. We have what I like to call a 'sandy beach.' There is several inches of gravel topped by at least six inches of white sand. A perfect base already in place for any brickwork. We've debated and argued what we were going to do with it. Naturally, I didn't want to spend money on it.
Tom ordered the pavers and they will be delivered on Saturday. O boy. So, guess what we're doing this weekend! It will look nice when it is done, like normal people live here.
The new roof will be installed starting on Monday. O boy. We needed it like last year, the timing is really great. Easter is 13 days away, the house will be like new (HA) by then. At least we won't get our heads wet during dinner, right?
We're also in the process of meeting prospective tenants for our old house. We've met some nice people and unfortunately some are just going to be non-starters. We definitely are not holding the house for the next couple months for anybody, unless they want to start paying rent, now.
The house looks really good, too, with the blooming trees and flowers. It always looked better empty, in my opinion! But the house isn't as important as the yard and location/proximity to METRO and downtown amenities. The roof is good and all the appliances work! Couldn't say the same about the farm house.
