Housing Project
Fri, 07/14 met with W at Design Cabinet in Lakeville. We sat down with the contractor who would do the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Discussed the sizes and materials to be used. Cost estimates would follow later. Early evening we met with Dennis and Wendy for dinner at home. A young Filipino couple interested in buying the house. Cross our fingers. Sat, 07/15 I went to the site from work to take pictures of construction development. Its starting to take shape with the roofing trusses and cover installed. Roof shingles are already on site. Expect it to be installed by next week. Top right pic shows the three season porch frame. A deck would be attached to it. Out of the Market. Thu, 07/13 the house we're selling is officially out of the market. The realtor took off the "For Sale" sign in front of the house. We're thinking of just renting out the house. The market is really slow and we don't want to go lower than our asking price. Maybe next years it would be better.
Gas Price and Weather
Gas price went beyond $3.00 and now hovers at $2.90++. In my previous blog about the gas price it did hit $3.00 but it did not stay there for long. It fluctuated from $2.65 to $2.90. But now you'll be lucky to get it below $2.90. With the Hamas, Hezbollah and Israelis trading rockets and artillery rounds (and I hope the international community find a peaceful solution soon) I don't expect it to go down and winter is fast approaching. 'Tis the season that crude oil prices goes up.
Speaking of winter, this summer is really hot and muggy. Farmers are hardest hit. With no grass to graze on they are forced to sell their cattles. Their crops are also dying. The heat also contributes to more energy being used with all the airconditioners running at max. Sale of window airconditioners and fans has also gone up. Here in MN we get the extremes. When it's hot, it is HOT like the 100's. When it's cold, it is COLD like 10 below.
Ooops, Almost Did It Again!
In my previous blog I mentioned about three old ladies accidentally going into the Men's Locker Room at the Y thereby catching a guy off guard. This Fri, 07/14 it almost happened again. I almost bumped into an old lady on my way out (old lady! again? uhm I''m having second thoughts now ;-) . She was surprised and I think a bit alarmed that a man is going out of the locker room, a female locker room or so she thought. Until she saw the big sign that reads MALE Locker Room. Well she just made an immediate left turn as if nothing doing. Inside the locker room I remembered I left three guys in various stages of drying themselves up after a shower. They never realized how close they were in losing their "chastity".
