UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES

So, before we jaunt off to Puerto Vallarta on Wednesday, I thought I'd update y'all on the things we've been dealing with over the past 1 1/2 years (some longer than others, obviously!)
Floors
The longest drawn out hassle of them all! But, I'm happy to write that, as of Friday, we signed off on the new floor. And, look ma, no swirls!

Where the worst of the swirls/smudges were...gone!

Former Idiot Tenants
Although they swore up and down that they didn't have enough money to settle with us, I guess our demands to put a deed of trust against their current house (which they all three jointly own) to secure their debt to us freaked them out sufficiently that they elected to settle with us. So, we received a nice lump sum check last week. And, no worries; the money went first to the law firm, then, the law firm cut us a check, so, the funds are good! We certainly are happy to see the tail-end of this problem. And, oh by the way, I sent an email to the PMC informing them of this happy outcome. No response.

Exploding Wine
I contacted the winery and they were very apologetic. Within two days, they'd sent me FOUR bottles of the wine we originally ordered (we didn't ask for the exploding peach crap in the first place). We drank a bottle of it last night and it seemed to be in perfect "working order"!

Now, off to brother Jon's for a quick visit (and to drop off a batch of burritos) and then on to a Durham Bulls game.

Ciao!

The floors really do look nice now.
