It is a new week. I was able to drag myself out of bed by 4:20AM. I want to get up at 4:00. I have to thank the new puppy for the motivation. He was awake and moving around so it wasn’t easy to sleep so I got out of bed. I would really like…

Lyla, the architect, emailed me last night asking if I had signed the contract with the structural engineering firm. I should have informed her when I signed because she could have made some more progress. She is going to give the engineer whatever it is they need to do their part. This is a learning…

The HELOC closed! Jim told me we started the process in August. Nothing has been happening in regard the duplex. We are waiting on the topo survey to be finalized. We have access to funds which lets me breathe again. I might email the surveyor tomorrow. I have been trying to get up at 4:00AM…

Today is closing day but I’m not sure at what time. For some reason the notary contacted my wife instead of me. There isn’t a lot going on at the moment so there isn’t much to write. I’m going to edit some videos this morning which is kind of fun once I understand the different…

Being Christmastime, there has been much movement anywhere so there isn’t much to write. We are going to close on the HELOC tomorrow. The landscaper is taking his time with updating the duplex. I’m going to pay him some money before year-end to at least get some tax breaks. I haven’t edited any more videos…

Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays! Yesterday the topo surveyor emailed me the first draft! He said that it goes through internal review first and that he expects to receive comments. Progress! I don’t think I mentioned it, but I have to buy sliding doors to cover the water heater and pantry closet. The water…
