Joan here - again... Shelley seems to be avoiding the blog lately so I will bring you up to date on yesterday's escapades. Well, the inspection yesterday went very well and now we wait for the report and hope there's nothing too detrimental. The Inspector told Colin that everything was basically ok which is good. I also negotiated with the owners for the contents and got everything in the house and cassita, including their uneaten food and spices in the kitchen for $6,600 US which is a good deal. It includes a 42" Sony flat screen tv and a king size bed with a handpainted metal frame (like a 4-poster with a headboard and footboard also. The list of 'stuff' is awesome and I'm very pleased and it saves us having to run around trying to furnish that big house, especially when we don't know where to get anything. I will sell the things I don't want and when I replace the living room set(s) - there are actually 3 of them - all with couch, loveseat and armchair, 2 large recliners, 6 (at least) end tables, and my favourite, the 8 piece handcarved dining room set. All the gardeners tools are included too which is a gas lawnmower, chainsaw etc. etc. etc. We certainly got a good deal anyway. They also tried to throw in one of their dogs but we've already gone one thanks very much. Nice try guys.
By the time we got home after our obligatory daily stopoff at Walmart - yes again - it was after 8:30 pm and we hadn't had dinner yet. Made an interesting dinner for me - cauliflower and mashed potatoes and everyone else had left-over pizza, then read til bedtime.
