For months, I have been talking about getting a new car. My car is 8 years old and is in good shape, but I want a few bells and whistles such as a backup camera and blind spot alert. Today I actually went to not one but two dealerships. In fact, I test drove one to do a bunch of errands! Cut to the chase, I didn't buy a car today, but I am seriously considering getting a Toyota Highlander. I have also considered a Honda Pilot, but the dealer only had about two; one didn't fit the bill and the other was parked on some high display! Let me know if you have any advice for me.
One errand was returning some samples to a flooring store. My brother and I bought a house that we are hoping to flip. The floors have been refinished and are beautiful, the kitchen cabinets will be painted with new doors installed, old paneling has been covered with sheetrock, new doors and jambs are being installed. There are still things to be done but we are well on our way. We will not make a huge amount of money on it, but it should look really nice when we finish, and it is in a great location. Cross your fingers that it will sell quickly.
Yikes, I am doing a lot of writing without any pics! The other day I went to Dollar Tree and bought a dozen mouse traps---yes it was a bit embarrassing to appear to have such a rodent problem. Here is the process in pics.
