This past week has been super busy. The day after we closed on the sale of our rental, we had a little dinner party with a few friends at our house. It was fun seeing everyone and catching up. It was also another way to celebrate.

We showed off the garden and the chickens and had a nice Italian style dinner.

Then this week in addition to our busy work schedules with inspections and grant writing for me and an on-call schedule for Britton, we also had another rental in Evans come due for the term of the lease. So we did the walk-through and considering they did 80% of their move-out in less than 2 days, it was surprisingly in great shape.

But we did have a few repairs to make, so we spent most of yesterday evening and today going back and forth to Home Depot about three times, putting in burned out lightbulbs, painting wall patches, cleaning windows, putting on new trim and fixing a door that had apparently been punched. That took the most time as the replacement door didn’t quite fit and so we had to plane it down to size. It made a huge sawdust mess, all over Britton’s car. lol

Rincon or bust!

We enjoy our work on the rentals even though sometimes it can be aggravating and time-consuming when you don’t know what you’re doing. But we keep getting better and always have an eye on the prize at the end of the day. With these busy Colorado summer days, there’s always something going on.
