DAN's listing showed up last night. The lots are not combined, though he is trying to sell them together as one sale. And he's expecting to get $163,000 more than he paid for the 2 lots, LOL. At least this realtor didn't plaster pics of our house all over the listing. The description just says really nice homes on each side of the lots. Hopefully, whoever buys them are like the couple on lot 6 - don't plan on building for 5 years, haha. When the lots were for sale before, because it was summer, dh was often outside doing yardwork when people would drive in to look at the lots, so often they would then stop to ask questions. I told him if he gets a chance to chat with any prospective buyers be sure to just say "if you plan on spending that much for these lots, just make sure you really read the covenants".
My work day was good and I got my 2 projects done. It's nice to finally be caught up enough to work on these things. I really hope my boss does decide to hire a f/t person. I would think, her being the same age as me (a year older), and the fact that she's part owner of the business, she should be thinking a little more long term down the road. Get someone on staff that can learn all this from me (and some of what she does in regards to finances) to eventually take over. They've done this plan for our main owners retiring out, and started working on that like 5 years ago, which has been a good smart move.
Not as rainy today, but the sky looks like it could at any time. Not much sun forecast in the next week. I'm ready for sun and warm, I think. Not hot, but warm, LOL. About another 3-4 weeks and I'll be able to plant all my annuals. DD said their Costco had some hanging baskets of annuals. I can't remember the price, I think around $25. Our area doesn't have all the annuals in yet, but I will have to check their baskets compared to Home Depot. The ones I got at Home Depot last year were a bit larger than I had gotten previous years and they looked really good all summer. I can't remember what I spent for them, though. I think I'll figure out a day to take off work to for us to go get all the flowers - weekends are just too crowded. Maybe I'll take off the Thurs and Fri before Memorial Day weekend and we can go in one of those mornings. DH is now a convert that going into the city in the mornings is much better and more enjoyable.
I've also noticed, this past week on the computer with my new glasses, is better. My eyes are much less tired by afternoon, now. Other than I will have to get the fit adjusted bit next time I'm in the city.
I don't have much exciting planned for this weekend. I did do a load of my clothes laundry yesterday, so that is out of the way. Then I'll just have to do the sheets today. I really like my new bedding set
Enjoy your weekend! :) I did not know your boss was a part owner of your main job. I need to get my eyes checked too, I am over due.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think she has like 10-12% in it. The main owner (who started the company over 30 years ago) has a majority over 50% ownership and our 4 exec mgmt people split the rest. Basically the exec mgmt team was given the ownership stocks as compensation, they didn't have to buy into the company.
DeleteHeh...someone here at the end of our road bought 12...15...not sure, acres, wooded, most of which is a ravine, to "farm." (You can't graze animals there, which is why they break out and wind up on my or my neighbor's yard, grazing.) Anyway, they have 6 acres of that for sale....only problem, they never applied for permission to subdivide it. We're all just sitting back and watching the show. They don't seem to realize that legally, if I were to make an offer, I buy the whole parcel based on the law, not just their self drawn boundary.
ReplyDeleteOh my! do they have a realtor? you'd think they'd know what up. That will be interesting to see how it turns out.
DeleteI will come here first everyday to see what is happening.
ReplyDeleteI do like your bedding set.
Every day, we drive by the front of Lowe's to see what flowers are out. I am looking for Wave petunias in hanging baskets.
I like the Wave petunias, too. I think my favorite perennial has become the daylily. They stay in bloom all summer and are easy to maintain. I wonder if they come in other colors? I've only ever seen them in yellow. I'm kind of hoping nothing happens with DAN selling the lots or that it takes a really long time ;)
DeleteI was at the Costco in Helena yesterday and they had hanging baskets of flowers and lots of shrubs and bushes. I saw a lot of carts with flowers in them. I didn’t look at them so not sure of the price.

Thanks for the info! I saw shrubs and some small trees a week ago. I'm not ready to plant annuals yet, though. A bit too early and cold yet, I think.
DeleteIt seems to early for flowers most places in Montana. In Billings I usually planted flowers around Mother’s Day and that was safe most years.
DeleteMid May to the last week of May is usually when I plant them, just kind of depends when I make time to make the shopping trip :)
