Good luck!! Close by would be nice, so you don't have to negotiate a big place you're not used to, right away.
Going to watch AI tonite and work on garden schematics.
We just had an interesting development.
A law-enforcement type (He wasn't sherrif's dept, but rather DNR or Fish and Wildlife, not quite sure which) just knocked on the door over at RosiesNewPlace and was asking for the prior tenant at first... it seems someone dumped a bunch of garbage and carpet (21 truck loads I'm guessing) on one of their access roads and among the trash was that address with the name of the old tenant.
Unknown whether the landlord was complicit in the illegal dumping or whether the handyguy ripped him off on dump fees. It all depends I guess on how much he paid the guy to get rid of all that crap they hauled last week.
If he'd have gone along with the original deal, we'd have done it right. It might have taken longer, but I imagine what happens next will be a big pain for the landlord.
The law-enforcement type...is he married? Catholic?
;-)
Seriesly...that woulda shook me up a bit having someone knock like that! I get shaky if the Jehovah's Witnesses knock!
Did you call the landlord yet? What happens now?
Gosh - I didn't even think about it, but he was a very good lookin' man :~D
He went to the store to talk to the landlord... and made a point of saying "Don't say anything else... you guys don't know anything about this, I was never here"
Heh heh!
Wow! Kinda like your own 24!
Huh. Weird...
Not really all that weird at all. As high as dump fees are, illegal dumping in the woods is a pretty common problem. It probably would have cost a few hundred dollars to dump all that at the landfill.
Is he still over at the store??
I mean, you can easily find out if he's married...look for a ring! I know it's not sure fire, but it's a start!
How does one discreetly find out if someone is a Catholic, I wonder?
LOL!! Exactly!
If he looked anything like that, Rosie needs to start dumping illegally! LOL!
He's not at the store.
Heh...you're crackin' me up! That's not exactly a thought that occurred to me. Actually he was a little on the older side anyway.
But it did surprise me just a bit. Wasn't expecting a knock on the door, and then when it turned out to be a very tall guy in law enforcement uniform...I didn't know what to think!
Hope it's something easily resolved. And if it does turn out to be just the handyguy's fault, I think in future I wanna call in a repair guy myself if I need one.
I don't think these are questions they usually answer when they're on an investigation. ;~D
Though you do kinda have a point...
Ha ha!!
This bit of drama has made my whole evening!
