Yikes I haven't posted in ten days!

Things are good here, busy as always! There were 2 empty apts. at my parents rental so we have been working hard advertising, taking phone calls and showing the units. We now have someone moving into one of them as of May 1, and the other one as soon as it is ready as they are still finishing up some repairs and putting in new flooring. It has been quite a process so I am glad it is nearly done and everyone will be settled in soon.

MO and I went to my old house (rental #1) and did some serious yard work last weekend. Raking up leaves for hoouurrsss. The lawn there needs some serious TLC, lots of bare spots and we were hoping to put some lawn seed down last weekend, but it was too windy, and now we are at home an hr away, but besides that it has been rainy, windy and gloomy everyday. Hopefully we can get working on that more soon.

During the week we worked on getting our garage organized a little bit. I still have a lot of boxes in there from the move that I need to go through. But we at least got a lot of garbage taken out of there and some general organization started. Goal for next week will be to go through a chunk of the boxes and to get the old fridge washed out (FINALLY!) and up for sale.

We also bought a riding lawn mower! We knew we would need one as our yard at our new home is very large, and also for doing our Property Management work at my parents rental. We were lucky enough to find one on our local FB Sales Page for only $350!! What a steal! Of course it is used, but my husband looked up the same mower on line, and just the bins for the mower cost $300 new! So we are very excited about getting that deal! We are also looking to buy a tiller as I want to have a garden, that may be pushed back to next year since it is almost May now and we never seem to stop being busy, but I think it would be good for us to own a tiller as we have lots of properties/projects.

This savings update isn't entirely accurate as we have been siphoning off funds from savings to the Appliances Loan so we can pay it off quickly and be done with that. I will update savings with those withdrawals after next weekend. Next weekend we are going to a Garth Brooks concert and may be taking money out of savings for that as well, so then we will have a more accurate picture of where we stand with savings, and hopefully have the Appliances Loan gone!
