Started off getting ready to head to do some running.. First stop.. cape c town hall. Had to get the permits to remove the old ugly eye sore trailers from mother and my aunts properties..
This has been relitively easy to get set up however a few small hurdles to hop over.. First was removal of power lines.. A simple call to the electric company.. Uh yeah that's the name.. Can you talk to him.. Uh.. Yeah hmm..
see mother never took the electric out of her dads name.. He's only been dead since 2002.. But with a quick call to the electric company this was straight and power lines were pulled back today.
Last step.. To get the permit.. So we had talked to the inspector before and he cut us a good deal.. two properties but only 1 fee .. Suppose it had anything to do with the complaint calls on the eye sores? Anyways we go to turn in the paperwork and.. He's closed until Jan 4th.. *crap* so we head into town hall and talk to the lady there.. Nice lady who worked for town hall when ron was a cop here.. Told her our delema and she jumped on the phone got a town commissioner to sign off on it saying *hes a real nice guy.. Lives here in town.. Used to be a town cop* and walla with the fee paid and a *if they have an issue tell them to come see me* we were out of there with the right to pull the trailers *woohoo*
So tomorrow.. Trailer #1 will get stripped, crushed and hauled off ..
My aunt may laugh at us and our *spit and a hand shake* deals.. Contracts made over the phone with no paper work to see.. And all.. But we saved her from what I heard they were quoted.. Over $20,000 (I have no clue who quoted them that) and were getting 3 removed not just 2... Our guy is starting tomorrow without the checks even being in my hands yet.. And permits were a walk in the park so *ha !*
Next stop.. Best buy where I browsed at laptops while my guys looked at Wii and xbox 360 games.. Poor Ron left with the boys while Owen and I browsed around. I'm still undecided on what to get.. Part of me is saying mini with the memory stick.. The other part is saying full sized .. I wil probably go full sized.. Want an HP.. a Sony vaio would be nice but my cheap ass is not sending nearly $800 on a laptop.. I want to stay close to $500 and that's it.. But for now its looking and dreaming until tax time.. Gives me time to browse and decide.
Than to petsmart where we got our Clyde some food and scored a mastiff calander for 2010 do you know how hard anything with a mastiff on it is to find?
Than a quick trip to walmart and home..
headed down to mothers to clean some storage stuff out only to kinda get sad at the things left behind.. Ruined from sitting for so long in bad trailers.. Pictures of my mor-mor left.. Just gone now completely.. We will finish that tomorrow (moving stuff) and than they can be smooshed and removed ..
After that a bit of relaxing as the kids played Wii and xbox 360 .. Dinner was nibbled on and than it was time to choose what game to play..
Kids choice.. Monopoly cities.. I swear I have a headache now.. Talk about confusing! But I'm sure in time it will be normal and easy.. Didn't even tally up who wiped who out when we ended the game. It was getting late and had to get things moving for bed ..
Tomorrow should be another fun filled day and than after that the begining of back at mothers to get the house done before she returns..
Wonder if we will see neighbors gathering and clapping as the old trailers are hauled off *haha*
