Construction Update
Ahh, the joys of “opening the hood”. The cast iron sewer pipe running underneath the duplex was shot and had to be replaced. We are in the middle of relocating water heaters that were in the laundry room that is going to be demolished and a bedroom will replace it. Actually, the laundry room is…

Since my last post, we have gotten new tenants and made progress in the construction project. Our six-month term lease tenant moved out at the end of May. She was a good tenant in that she was rarely at home, we never heard her dog, she was always respectful and nice, and she paid rent…

The architect emailed me this morning with a list of minor changes that need to be made, and she estimates that she will have the updated plans to me within two weeks. I’ve already spoken…

I have not gotten out of bed at the time I want at all for the last two weeks. I’m not sure what my problem is. It’s really annoying and discouraging. I need to create a sense of urgency like if I was unemployed. Lyla, the architect, emailed me today asking about the laundry room.…

Thursday, January 19 New Puppy
We got a puppy right before Christmas and it has really thrown off my routine. I need to adjust soon. I haven’t gotten up at the time I want to, my morning routine is all out-of-whack because I don’t want to wake up everyone with a puppy who wants to play. He knows I’m up…
