might have a new home...


We put a bid in today. Not too far away from here, but far enough that it is a world of difference in the neighborhood. People over there actually work for a living. We met the neighbor next door yesterday and he seems pretty cool. He has been mowing the yard next to him just because the house is empty and he did not want it to get long. What a nice change of pace from where people won't even mow their own yards.
There is space in the basement for the pool table and lounge/den/NASCAR shrine etc. We are looking to build onto the side and back of the third garage to make a shop. I was not sure how they would pour back there but was sure it could be done. Tonight I had a horrible thought: How do they excavate to pour the walls? DOH! I will have to look into that directly! There is a pond behind us and there is a great view out the back of the house. Ours went on the market this week. We will find out on Monday if they take our bid on the new one or not.

Groovy! Look at all that driveway. Hey, Lodin's house also looks over a pond in back.

To get concrete back there, they could use one of those crane pumper things, or more likely they'd do what they did here and run back and forth with a buggy. More or less a big ass gas powered wheel barrow. Yeah, excavating might be a bit tough since there isn't much space between the houses. Could a Bobcat fit through? That's what they used here - Bobcat with a digger.

Is this one over by Regina?

Good luck!
