I'm getting close to evicting the people with the Great Dane. They have an unsafe electrical hookup that I've asked several time to repair correctly, they have 2 or 3 windows busted out, they leave trash laying around and they now have dogs getting out. I'm not gong to continue with these people forever. I've tried numerous times to get them to clean up their act. I picked up the trash myself and chucked it in the garbage - it's a really bad image to have what amounts to trailer trash living in your park. I'm heading over there today and see what's up, I got a text saying one of their dogs got out from another person in the park.
Trailer trash. I've tried to keep that type out. This one got by by taking pics of the trailer that didn't show the windows broken. And you certainly can't tell if they are living in squalor by words on a message. I've notified them swiftly about the things they have = wrong - over there and it hasn't done any good. I'm not willing to have them staying there indefinitely, living like that.
There is one person using the machines that just started using them today. I need more park guests to be using the machines.
The people always complaining are at it again about the grass. I just ignored them. The ground has been wet from rain, you can't cut grass when it's wet. It just clumps up and you are wasting your time. The grass doesn't cut right, either.
I need another load of gravel. I don't want to spend $700 on anything right now, but the driveway still needs a bit more gravel on it and there are lots that need some fixing up. I'm probably not going to do that right now, I may see if I can get some gravel dumped onto my trailer and just use a little bit to fix the driveway and call it good for now.
The grass killer I sprayed has so far shown nothing in terms of killing off any grass, save a few yellow specks on a few blades of grass. I'm going to find some other brand to use and see if I can get all the grass along the edges of the driveway and pads killed off. I already did this once, I'll do it again. I don't want to use a weedeater on that grass, high probability of having rocks flying into trailer glass and costing me even more glass replacement fees. No thank you. One guest said it costs anywhere from $700 to over a grand to fix glass on those trailers depending on the size of the window.
Well some of those windows are huge. I have people coming into lot 12 today, if it dries up enough in the next few hours I'm going to mow all sides of that. The sun is finally shining!
Well, I guess I need to get the generator off the trailer. James is finishing up today over at that place where he's cutting down a metal barn, he needs it to haul off the scrap. He's also going to pull out a 21 foot trailer and bring that over as well. I have ample space for it we really don't have space at the house. At least not for extended. If he were just selling it, he could leave it on the street and put a hitch lock on it. But I'm pretty sure his plan was to bring it over to the property.
I don't like to watch people on the cameras, but since this guy is using the machines for the first time, I am going to watch him to ensure he isn't getting into anything. I haven't seen any erratic or volatile behavior yet, in fact, he's just coming in, moving clothes into the washer and then moving clothes into the dryer and leaving. That's exactly what I intended. People can sit there if they want, of course, I do have a chair in there but I'd rather they just come and go. The beauty of that door keypad, just enter a code and that's it. It takes 2 seconds to enter the code.
I remember attempting to decide what I was going to do about the door and keeping the place locked up - this was easily the best decision I could have made for it. No keys, no worry about strangers getting into it- at least not without force - and having security cameras to ensure that people keep it on the up and up.
That's about it. I am going over there and likely starting on the insulation today. I have the glue and the sheets, I just need to start measuring them, gluing the wall where they will go and get with it. There's a lot to do. The ceiling will be impossible. I will have no choice but to buy a stepladder. We don't have one at the house and as much as I hate to spend another $70 on things, there is no question that I must have it. I was using a 2 step stool to install the lighting, but I can't quite reach the ceiling itself.
But, to start, I can start on the walls. That will take who knows how long, there are a lot of cuts to be made. I've got the electrical outlets completed besides a couple of items that I need to buy. I am installing a light for the outside of the shed, I don't have a switch for it, I haven't started the install yet. I don't want it left half-assed. Just start the installation and finish it the same day, including getting it hooked up to electricity. It's a low wattage bulb I bought for it, I likely will just leave it on until I can find a light switch to install with it. I'm sure Lowe's must have them.
I think I might put some Gorilla tape on those insulation pieces as well, hold them in place. That insulation will be the only thing keeping the heat out during the summer and the cooling in. I don't have any heating over there and tho it will need something, it isn't necessary now and won't be necessary until this winter. It's still getting chilly, but not enough to need a heater in there. I also wouldn't mind installing one of those things that allows the heat from the dryer to escape into the room.
Well, sitting here writing isn't getting anything done....
G'day.
