Went downstairs last night to discover the closet at the end of the hall had water coming out of it. When we get lots of rain all at once that area is prone to flooding. Spent an hour mopping up water. Jim had put some books in cardboard boxes on the floor in that closet and may have ruined them. We went down today and had to mop it up again. It is slowing down so the worse may be over. We need to figure out where the water is coming from and get it fixed once and for all.
Went in to the rental house early afternoon. I got the second coat on the living room walls. Only have the rest of the woodwork in the living room to do and I will be done except for touch ups and a final clean. I’ll go in tomorrow and get that woodwork painted. I worked a bit in the kitchen starting the clean up.
Jim came in and mowed the yard for me. It was a bit easier mowing for him this time although he kept finding more stuff in the yard. We have quite a collection of things we have found in the yard.
The handyman worked this afternoon on bedroom and closet doors. He had to trim them down due to the height of the carpet. Three sets done and one more set to go.
After dinner tonight Jim and I went out and mowed at this house. I hadn’t finished the yard from last time I mowed and he mowed the old garden area. It was too wet to mow some of the yard but what we got done looks nice.
Tomorrow I plan on going back into the rental house to finish up the inside painting except for the touch ups. The chance of rain is pretty high for tomorrow afternoon so don’t think I will be able to paint outside. I was hoping the handyman could get started replacing siding pieces on the house tomorrow but that may not happen. Wednesday looks like it is going to be rainy too so may be later in the week before I can paint outside. It is what it is.
I still have the back room to paint but we have to get the leak in the roof fixed before I can paint it. Jim thinks we may need to replace the whole roof. The guys are going to take a look at it later this week and decide what needs to be done.
I need to check with the person that may be interested in renting the house. If she has decided not to rent it I may try to schedule an open house this Sunday. I checked a couple of realtors websites and there are very few houses on the market for sale and even less listed for rent. I’m sure I won’t have trouble finding someone to rent the house. It will be ready June 1 and I will be asking $550 a month rent. It has two bedrooms and 1 full bath, living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry room. It has a washer, dryer and appliances in it.
I delivered eight dozen eggs today to five different people. I still have lots on hand if anyone needs some. I do regular delivery every Monday but you can come get some anytime I am home. They are $3 a dozen or 2 dozen for $5.
I got a fairy egg this morning when I gathered eggs. They always make me smile. They are about the size of a quarter and don’t have a yolk in them.
Feels good to have gotten the second coat on the living room wall today. The rest of the woodwork won’t take too long. I will move the ladders, extra paint, tools, etc to the back room so I can have the house empty so I can get it cleaned. Jim has a pile of stuff he needs to help me bring home so I can have space to clean.
Grateful the last room has the second coat of paint on the walls, grateful Jim mowed the yard today, and grateful for fairy eggs.
