… and now I’m homeless …
I’ll be back some day, but I’ll need the help of the teeming millions to keep Our Great Social Causes alive:
1] 0.999… = 1 — no backsliding, y’hear …
2] Don’t be creating or destroying energy willy-nilly … not one micro-erg …
3] Can we get the carpet in the storage closet replaced? … that foam cleaner just isn’t working anymore … maybe a bigger cat-flap as well …
Thanks in advance …

Are you someplace where you can’t get to a public library occasionally?
I honestly have no idea whether to congratulate or commiserate…
As one chapter draws to a close, another begins. Good luck ol’ buddy.
Maybe the period tank in his car will spring a leak along the way and when he rejoins us after his journey we’ll see them used only one at a time. But I’m not holding my breath. 
Escrow closed AGAIN !!!
Just bought a late 19th Century Victorian used as rentals for the past 50 or so years … structurally sound but wallboard materials are a wreak …
This Old Girl’s rehabilitation will be my magnum opus …
The community is staunchly Republican … what a relief being able to say something nice about The Donald without getting into a fist fight …
Watchwolf49: You’re very lucky! Just a problem with wallboard materials! If the rest of us bought one of those we would probably have problems with a lack of insulation, a roof needing to be replaced soon, ancient electrical and plumbing systems, a non-energy efficient heating system, cracks in the foundation. And a lot of people have a wife/girlfriend who demand modernization of a functional kitchen and bathroom just because it isn’t stylish enough–because it hasn’t been updated in 40 years.
Insulation?
Ha ha … insulation is there but all the doors and windows need replaced, roof’s new, wires dangling everyplace, fucking hot water heater is outside, but the foundation is good, just a bit of sag in one of the bearing walls …
No girlfriend or wife … too bad … the kitchen was re-done about a year ago, huge and modern … 250 sq ft or better … that’s right, ladies, I’m still single …
Congrats! Pics of your new lady?
Still single … but broke UFN fixin’ the main mistress. C’est la guerre..
Good luck. Seriously, not snarkily. Sounds like fun.
It’s not all bad, then is it? 
Old homes are a never-ending project, unlike new homes which are never-ending… oh wait, it’s the same. Houses need maintenance, you may start with a lot to do, but you’ll have to keep it at anyway.
The first thing you need to do is buy a shovel, then go out in your back yard and dig a hole. Why? Because you can. You are a laird now, bask in the glory of your domain for a while, it will make all the work and money seem slightly more worthwhile.
Not sure if I did this right … [2 ...](http://s682.photobucket.com/user/watchwolf49/media/IMG_1082_zpsrm1ehqfj.jpg.html) 3 …
First thing I did was sign the two rose bushes’ death warrants … that’s two holes dug … next I’m gonna kill the Pampus Grass … might need a back-hoe for that … I’d love to take a chainsaw to the trees except I’d probably kill myself …
There’s one of them hippy-style community gardens across the street …
Looks like a beautiful house. The cats seal the deal!
My lil’ darlings … they’re mad 'cause they can’t each get their own bedroom …
