Well, the AC/Heat contractors are here and already noting that the roof access is too small for their fittings to get through.  Whatever, not my house. I suggested making the hole wider, they are talking about making a completely new hole somewhere else in the house. Literally makes no sense if you already have a hold to simply make it a bit bigger versus cutting an entirely new hole somewhere else. As I said, it's not my house and I don't really care, but the less holes the less heat and ac escaping through those holes. Yes they get covered up but those covers aren't insulated.

Anyway, I haven't received any more calls about accommodations and I haven't had any online reservations.  I'm reading that sometime this month, several park owners expect that people will start reserving spots for their parks. Well, I hope I can get in on that and get a piece of that pie.  

I'm working on getting wifi in there. Fidelity is my first choice - but that really depends on what they want to charge me to get the line run back there.  I'm not spending 5 thousand dollars just to get internet in there, I could see a grand.  They only would have to run the line, but, as we all know, inflation has jacked up the price of everything and who knows how much they pay for that line. 

I did have a person asking me if I will take mobile homes in there.  Not ATM, I replied tho I certainly won't write that idea off the table. This is a patience game, wait and see what happens in the next coming weeks, maybe a few months and see if people are actually going to spend a night or 4 at my place in the upcoming RV season.  

I've done everything I can think of to do for the Google business site.  It's received hundreds of views from various means, but mostly cell phones.  The website is also up to date with info on the park and the fact that we are open, please use our online reservation system or simply call us.  

I do have 3 people that are "seriously" interested in long term. I want 4 of them at the rate I am offering, after that, the rate goes up for anyone wanting to come in afterwards.  Of course, these people -even if they do want to move in - also have to pass my scrutiny for their rv, it's appearance and also that they will abide by the rules.  I am making it a practice to hand people a copy of the rules at first meeting even if they are only staying overnight.  Besides the rules, it also has a liability disclaimer on it.  I'm sorry you were struck by lightning walking out in a thunderstorm in the middle of an open field, we are not taking liability for it.  

Anyway, a person is coming tomorrow to take a look. They were more concerned about Verizon reception than anything.  I have Verizon, it works well, you can text, make calls, stream YouTube videos and even do live Facebook videos back in the woods.  It's a pretty strong signal.  I'll be happy to get a second guest in there if they do indeed decide to move in.  My rates - the low version - are getting attention and I am getting some inquiries.  Inquiries are good, but I need people to hand me the cash and move in.  

I'm bantering with Republic trash services to get a price I can deal with.  I don't have 14 lots worth of people, if I did then their first try would have been fine.  They wanted almost $300 per month for the smallest dumpster they have - no, no and no.  I am waiting on them simply quoting me for what we have at the house: 2 regular residential containers. That really should be enough to handle what I have/will have going.   

I'm working on my resume so I can simply upload it to jobs I am interested in instead of writing out my entire work history on every job application.  

Oh, well anyway, I tried to dig a trench across the driveway today - that was a no go. Too much water, it kept filling everything up and I couldn't see what I was doing. That water is going to have to dry up before i can do that.  I got the doggy park all but ready to go.  The pole for the dog dung bags is in - fresh cement and I finished a portion of fencing that I had to redo.  Now I just need that concrete to dry and I can install the gate and install the dog bag dispenser.  I have to take the bench over there and put it together - people like a place to sit while they are letting their dogs run around.  

Once I get the trash containers out there, I can take the 50 gallon can I have at the shed and use it in the park.  The fire pit was still quite muddy.  Nothing I can do there.  Tomorrow, I am going to see about burning out those burn piles.  Hopefully it will have dried out enough after 2 days.  I'm not going to fool with the doggy park get until Friday, I think.  Much of the rest of what I have to do is simple cleanup.  That's a work in progress.....

There's more, I'm just tired. I haven't been sleeping well at night and it shows during the day. I also lose energy quickly while doing physical labor and I start hacking/coughing like crazy.  I was only out there working a few hours today before I quit. Yesterday I lasted 6-1/2 hours.  

My first long-term tenants moved in today.  Good thing I'm opening a doggy park, they have 2 of them and one of them likes to run and not listen to it's owners.  I don't mind with no-one else there, but that isn't going to work with other people staying there.  I did let them know directly about that - not a problem now but there ARE people that don't like dogs and I don't want your dogs running all over the place terrorizing the neighborhood. Ok, lol, they are just itty bitty little things, but rules are rules and people get pissed if the owner/management doesn't enforce them.  I hope I don't have to get into confrontation with them - or anyone else for that matter - but I will if I have to.  

That's enough. The AC people left. There was a lot of work to do. They had to rebuild the stand the inside AC stuff sits on and install all of that plus the new condenser outside. They are still working on the new duct work and won't have that finished until tomorrow. So, we are stuck with space heaters for another night - going to get down to 38 degrees tonight, that's cold in my book.
