Awake 5:58 am Temp Downtown=58 Sunny 18 hrs 53 min of daylight
I am tired of seeing dandelions trying to monopolize our lawns, so this
morning I spray the front lawn with weed(b)gon. Now we'll see who is
........" the boss ."
Kathy does some light cleaning & organizing for Karen's noontime
appointment for a home tour.
I begin constructing more FSBO sign structures(two of our signs are
missing). My supplies are limited so I am using old yardsticks & kite
sticks....kind of flimsy but hey, my material supply is short.
Meanwhile Karen arrives & Kathy tours her through our home. She is from
Fairbanks, her husband works as a Doctor here in Anchorage & he rents an
apartment. She wants to move to Anchorage with country living near his
office in the city.
During their touring time, I get the sections of our homemade portable
basketball backboard unit assembled for picture taking to advertize for
sale. Also take pictures of our 1984 Ford Van, the tilt trailer, the 1983
Volvo & the Sears grass catcher for selling.
When the tour is finished and Karen has left, Kathy continues with her
computerized ad she started before Karen's arrival. We are now ready to
advertize in our Anchorage newspaper our home for sale.
Then...a shopping we will go. Home Depot; FSBO Headquarters; Fred Meyers &
Ace Hardware. Back home @ 4:45.
Kathy has been doing laundry and that small leak under the washing machine
has not gone un-noticed for sometime now....but today, it's gone too far.
I pull the machine away from the wall, take off the access cover &
discover the leaking area to be the tub barrel. Tomorrow I will look at
this problem closer.
At home Depot, I had purchase a new patio door handle & latch mechanism.
The present 22 yr old unit would only open the door when raising the
handle upward, not downward. I simply thought a new unit would easly solve
this problem. 30 min later, it's obvious that in 22 yrs, things have
changed for the door mechanism units. The inside latch assembly is about
1/2 inch longer than our original which offsets the whole unit & renders
it un-workable. Finding another unit to match ours might take more time
than I want to spend on this project....tomorrow I will look at this
dilemma closer.
8:15 Dinner: Pork Chops, Lamb Chops with mint jelly, bean salad,
cantaloupe, bing cherries & fresh salad.
Some X-word puzzle solving for both of us late evening. Lights out: 11:45pm
