Stuff Happens!

  Hello all well here's the story for the week. Why does stuff happen when you don't want it to? Ok, so I might be going to closing for my rental house soon. I said might be not sure when it would be. But I check on the house every week just to make sure I don't have squatters or anything living there. When I went to check on the house last week there was water damage on the walls and in the basement. I said shit that must be from the roof it leaked, and water dripped down the walls. Thank God the damage wasn't that bad but still. I just got a brand-new roof on my house like five years ago. Anyway. I called the roofing company not the roof. So, I called a contractor to fix the minor damages it will cost me $1400 for everything. My question is why is it that when I need to sell here come repair bills that I need to take care of all of a sudden???   This is why I am getting rid of the place too expensive and I am too old for all this crazy stuff.

In other news have you seen how much eggs are going from I saw some that were $32 bucks that's crazy or is it you can get a live chicken and get your own eggs cheaper? 

So that's my story so far not much else is happening I am focusing on getting my rental sold so I can move on to the next thing which is getting the house I live in repaired and getting an alarm system in it because the cops in my area are here way too often for me. People are starting to break into homes and that's not nice.

                                                So that's my story what do you think?

Just Cold

  Hello all, Well, here's the story for the week. It's cold in New York—19 degrees—and nothing is moving except me sometimes.  I got an interesting letter from Environmental Protection Services. This is where I pay my water bill. They said they needed to come in to inspect the water meter. I was surprised since the water meter in my rental is not that old like ten years maybe. I called them and they said I had to make an appointment since my real estate lawyer wanted a final bill. I'm like what? So, I called my lawyer who's helping me sell the house and he told me the bank required that I have a new water meter put in before I sell the house. Really? So, guess who got stuck waiting for the water meter man today, yep me. Also, I had to wait for the survey man another day since the real estate people couldn't do it. I thought that's what we pay them all this commission for. So I don't have to do all this waiting for people who have to service the house before I sell it. Go figure.

Anyway, since the cold weather has me inside and the snow, We got the last couple of days ago had me shoveling. That's what I have been doing keeping warm and trying to get work done around the house. Boring I know but that's my story so far what do you think?

Happy 2025

  Hello all I know I am a little late with the Happy part. But how is your 2025 going so far. Me It's cold in New York. Somedays its 50 degrees and sometimes it 16 degrees go figure. Welcome to winter. What I have been doing so far for the new year is cleaning and going over inventory in my house.  So, I can either sell it, donate or dumb it. I have a lot of stuff that needs to go, and this year is the year for that. I used to do flea markets and church bazaars selling vintage toys and stuff. So, you know I got a lot of stuff that needs to go somewhere besides my house.

I think my rental house will finally be out of my hands and in someone else's hands this year. My real estate guy called me today said the survey guys for the house was coming over. today. My real estate guy asked me to meet them since He  had an appointment, and he couldn't be there. So, I said what the heck if we can get all the things done in time. I think my rental home will be off my hands by March of this year. And I get to save around $10,000 in expenses from it. So, I'll let you know how that goes.

You know when there is so much that you have to do but don't know where to start? That's me I need to get an alarm system in my house. Since I have seen the neighborhood where I live getting a lot more police calls then normal. I think having an alarm company monitor your house is about $50 bucks a month . But for a piece of mind it will be worth it. Don't you think?

Also, I forgot to mention when did smoke and carbon monoxide detectors become so expensive? Had to buy two for them, they cast me about $60 bucks. I know you can't put a price on safety but darn $60 dollars!

                        Well that's my story for the week what do you think?
