Stop in for a cup of coffee

That was something also they were almost out off, Coffee. I did my part to society and bought all the last 5 cans! Felt good also!
 

We go in this morning, and close on the three-acre lot we bought. It sits to our south and what we look at from the back deck. It was a separate lot to the owner's house and property.
The second time I'd talked to him he told me they were moving. Knowing he owned the lot I asked if he'd sell it. He originally thought he'd try to sell it with the house. I texted back and forth a couple times and he agreed to sell it to us.
I thought his price was a little higher than value, but Cheryl said buy it or we could end up like the guy down the road.
Oh, that guy...he had a small, wooded lot for sale forever behind his house. He told his neighbors no one will ever buy that little lot. Too small to build the size house in this neighborhood he said.
Someone did buy that lot and then moved a dumpy double wide trailer on to it. It's the county and different zoning for that "small lot" Now the lot with a gravel driveway and couple beat up cars looks like chit. The lot boundry is so close he had to build a eight-foot wooden fence along the property line.
So, we are the new owners, and we will control the view for as long as we live here.

Smart move...

Land... unless you're the Chinese in the south pacific, they aren't making any more of it.
 
I spent a few hours on a 12 foot ladder yesterday and got the outside of the three 10 foot living room windows cleaned.
They're on the back side of the house about 20 foot up. I don't think other than rain they'd ever been cleaned.
The previous owners always had those window shades closed. Too bad, the view you get is amazing acres of wooded land. We never close them.
Had to clean each window three times to get them looking decent. Next time will be easier.
I went to Home Depot and found an extendable pole made for the 18"window brush and squeegee. They also offered an 18" water bucket.
Good thing I'd done all that painting earlier this summer. I used a 18" roller paint pan I had...worked perfectly.
