Break time. 3 hours later the shed is 80% done. I still have to build the door - it comes with the kit and of course I forgot something vital to setting this thing up: a sheet of plywood for the flooring. I'm not going to just have the thing sitting in the dirt, I want my tools and such protected. So I will have to borrow Taylor's truck at some point, and get a fresh sheet of it. I was going to put everything in there today. Oh well.
One good lead for a person wanting to move in. Not necessarily confirmed, but they are very interested. I've got to get some more trailers in here, end of story. But I am balking at the thought of lowering the price again, I will just be screwing myself come summertime and extraordinarily high electric bills. So, for now, I'm leaving them where they're at.
Another person of interest told me there isn't anything available over my way. Ok? Well, I have availability, tho admittedly I was telling people I was full for quite awhile, I did also tell them that they could check back periodically for people come and go in these parks.
That tow truck family may end up coming back after they get their trailer fixed. This has been going on for about a month and a half with them. The only park they are going to find cheaper over this way is a trailer trash park with people who look like they're hoarders. Piles of useless junk outside, I wouldn't tolerate that for a minute.
In fact, I was loathe to tolerate these people in lot 7 that were throwing beer caps, cigarette butts and garbage on the ground. Even after asking them politely to please stop and also get out and pick it up, they didn't do it. I'm sort of glad they are gone, but, there goes that money as well. I think it's more important to keep a good reputation and a clean park than it is to base decisions solely on collecting money - tho that is a highly important factor, obviously.
Well, I'm going to get that door built and then I'm going to see about getting the new keypad door handle installed as well. I still have several hours before my ride comes back to pick me up. Yes, about 3 hours actually. I just needed a break, hungry, I brought last night's leftover chicken with me, quite tasty. I am going to want to get a sheet of plywood over here asap, I want this stuff out of this shed and get it open to everyone. I aaalmost thought about putting a piece of drywall down, lol, but we all know how long that would last.
If those things don't keep me busy for 3 hours, don't worry. There an AC unit to install - which will be a lot of work framing for it and of course there is the drywall venture to continue on with for the bathroom. And a lot of other stuff........weeks worth or work left here. Cutting out the insulation is going to be a pain, I can tell just looking at the walls. I'll get it done, yes but dang that's going to suck.
The collision center called with an update: They don't see any way to get it done sooner than the 25th. well, I wasn't complaining or begging to them, at all. I just noted that I don't have a rental car. The obviously told them I don't have until the second of never to get my vehicle back. I want them to do the job right and get it right the first time. If that takes longer, so beit.
I have a ride now - it's $24 per day. I suspect less than $200 worth of rides versus $800 plus worth of rental car. And maybe not even that much for the rides. Taylor will let me use her truck whenever she isn't needing it. Which is very nice and sweet of her : ) But, we throw favors back and forth. I get the kids on the days she needs it - tho I don't really think of it as an imposition. I buy a lot of dinner food. I do things, in other words, for the household as much as they do. Just one big happy family.
She has been in throes of frequent, intense nausea, unfortunately, and throwing up food a lot with this pregnancy. I really am trying to help her out as much as possible. She's trying to work while carrying the baby, that's enough for any person in itself. She hasn't figured out what she likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat, that baby inside of her is apparently very picky!
Well, I'm going back to work. Feeling much better now that I've eaten something.
