Update on House

Yesterday we went with our realtor to be there for the inspector. It went well. We knew there was alot of little things that needed to be fixed but nothing major. The roof, electric and ;pipes are ok. The dishwasher doesn't work but our son was going to replace it anyway. I don't mind doing dishes also and have been for the last year here in the condo. It comes with a nice fridge so we'll be leaving ours here for the next tenant, its really too hard to move. We had to take it apart to get it in the kitchen. I don't want to do that again!

These houses in Sun City, the old ones are all electric. Evidently, all electric was the "thing" in the 60s. I was a kid then  but I do faintly remember commercials touting all electric homes. Am I remembering right?

The condo's that we are currently living in were built all electric too but many have been converted to gas. They orginally were all 1 bedroom too but many have converted to two bedroom which is what we have. We have a very nice gas  stove which I really like. The kitchen at the house has an electric cook top. It works so guess I'll have to get used to it.

The yard is a real mess and will take several years probably to get right. The back chain link fence is falling down, mainly because the behind neighors trees and bushes have grown through the chain link and are pushing it over.Their ivy is taking over the our yard too so first we will have to have a talk with our neighbor about this. Our son has two small dogs and doesn't want them getting out of the yard. Plus we all want to have a nice yard with raised beds and a fruit tree or two.

Next week, the bank building inspector will be there so there will be two inspections done. Always a good thing to do with a  old house. This was built in 1965. I was in high school, a freshmen when these were built.

I remember driving by with my parents on the old 395 highway and seeing Sun City. I thought it was for old people (it was) and now here I am. No more 395 and Sun City is still here.

and now a funny...
