more house hunting

26-mar. made a big mistake by going out friday night for "just a couple drinks" ... headed to big chick's where i met up with tom, troy & mitch ... ran into nathaniel & art ... ended up hitching a ride w/nathaniel & art to jackhammer for more drinks & shut the place down @ 4am ...

27-mar. after recovering from friday night, i started feeling human again around 2pm. took the 16.35 train to MCI. made weekly trip to the dollar general where i found they've stocked a small (but ample) garden supply section for me (yes, its all just for me). i bought a garden hose, shovel and several other gardening necessities. also stopped @ the liquor store on boul mich & picked up a can of ice cold bud for dinner.

28-mar. andrew v & his friend dane came out to MCI for the day to look at houses. andrew is working with my realtor amy. amy met us at my house just after 1pm & drove us around town to see about a half-dozen properties. there were several of interest to andrew.

31-mar. mailed deposit cheque for water service last week to MCI water department, still waiting for it to clear. water service is scheduled to start on monday 6-apr. taking the day off from work.

this coming weekend will be busy one. hopefully the vet will be able to help. need to get to lowes/menards to buy a new water heater (not sure the one in basement still works & is 19 years old so even if it does, it's prob on its last leg anyway). also getting some concrete & cinderblocks for the foundation to help stabilise it for time being.

getting ready to paint the house as well (inside and out). inside will just get a coat of white on walls for now (kitchen cabinets may get a light orange inside). i think exterior color will be gray for main part of house with blue on front portion (living room bump out) and back porch, with white trim on all.
