Friday - morning
No, I haven't gone to the property yet, I will do that after the grandparents leave with the boys. Just want to be here to wave goodbye, cya - apparently not in two weeks. There is an extended family member that has some sort of critical illness that may - be on their death bed, it sounded like. So who knows how long that trip will actually be for them.

Long interlude. Been to the property 3 times and gave up on it for today. It's 2:00 pm and there is no sign of the surveyors. I saw a pickup parked back in there with the gate open a few minutes ago, though yayyyy, they're here! Only to find it was just another employee checking the chemical level in one of the barrels for the natural gas.
I texted my realtor: Unless they work on weekends, I don't think they're coming this week. She replied she'd check. I have no idea who they are using for the surveyor company, otherwise I would have checked it myself. Regardless, it's undoubtedly going to be next week - if they show up at all - to get this done.
Meanwhile, we took the dogs to Maria's. There was a bit of adjustment for her dogs and mine to get acquainted again plus a Chihuahua thrown into the mix - another tenant living there. It was basically the only choice for a dog sitter as others would not be available. I did go take a look at one of the properties that I bought at tax lien sale - someone has been cutting down trees and I wanted to see if they were continuing on with that - operation that has no permission from the owner.
However, the trees are rotted and would have had to come down anyway. In fact, one of them looks like they fell on a house and the house has a new roof on it. The tree is still laying there lol. There's another very tall and rotted out tree on the property that must come down. Yes I have a chain saw but I'm a bit out of practice. That tree falls the wrong direction and it's going to take out a roof. Possible hurt people. I'd rather get my name on the title and go cut down a few trees at the "new" place and get practiced again.
I was musing about putting up a small house on the property. There is a property up the street where a guy had a new - but small - house built. I can't imagine it's more than 800 square feet. I can still imagining it costing a bit of money tho.
Whatever the case, my fresh hair cut over with, I'm packed and ready to leave for vacation. Oh, wait. I got the camera going for the back yard, need to set it back up. The dogs aren't here, there is nothing to stop anyone from stealing stuff. Well, there is a heavily armed next door neighbor cop lol.
With that, I bid you a g'day.
