House Looker

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 70 degrees, high 85 degrees, mostly cloudy until noon, then mostly clear

I didn't get to go for my morning walk yesterday because of the rain, but was back at it this morning. The cooler weather has made it much more comfortable when outside. On the way home from the walk, I stopped by the local U-Haul dealer and rented a ramp trailer along with an appliance hand cart to move Terri's washing machine and dryer with. I picked up Carolyn from the RV and we went out to the house, loaded the appliances, and had them unloaded and installed at Terri's apartment before noon. Along with the appliances, we took her some outdoor chairs and flower pots. Not a bad morning's work.

After returning the trailer and hand cart to U-Haul, we went home and had lunch. After eating, we worked on some computer stuff and took it easy. At 1600 hours, I had an appointment in Tuscaloosa, but it didn't take long, allowing me to be back at home before 1700 hours. Almost as soon as I walked in the door, we received a call from the realtor that she was taking a family out to look at the house. That was fine, except for one thing: the security alarm was on, and the realtor did not know the disarming code. We rushed out to the house, calling back to the office so they could notify the realtor to not go in the house until we could get there and disarm the system. Luckily, the realtor was caught just in time, and we were able to turn the alarm off and allow the interested party to look at the house. Now, if they'll buy it. We did notice that the people who were looking at the house are from California. Maybe that's a good sign, since they are probably used to paying inflated prices for property. I know where they can get a deal. Our fingers are crossed.

It looks like the weather will be good Friday and Saturday for the yard sale, so we'll start moving stuff over for it tomorrow. Once this last yard sale is done, we'll take what's left to the Salvation Army. Then, it's a matter of mowing once a week or less. I'm ready for less work.

More later, be safe.
