It actually sold...
my ex-wife and I at the old house, we were both 20---
---So my old shack finally sold. I am 10% sad, and 90% anxiously anticipating it being demolished. The closing is Wednesday, and evidently I am getting a new kitchen out of the deal.
---
At least that's what one of the trustees to the Realty trust which "owns" that old place and the strip mall beside it. My grandfather made up all of these things for tax purposes. None of us really own our homes in this family, they are all sort of independent entities with trustees and beneficiaries. Evidently when something is liquidated within one of these things, the beneficiaries can (at that point) take some sort of revenue from them. I am not clear on how it all works, but in the end they have decided to have my Kitchen completely redone here (it needs an overhaul). Wednesday night after the closing I am going Cabinet and counter shopping, how exiting is THAT?
---
So I had to go meet a former tenant of that old place after work last night so that he could remove a Canoe which has been in it's basement for years. Turns out, some renovations they did to the place 10 years ago resulted in the installation of three new columns in the basement. The fools boxed in the Canoe! So it was impossible to remove. I don't think the guy was too happy but what can be done?
---
A funny thing happened when I pulled into the parking lot of the Strip Mall next to the place..
---
This young guy
(maybe 20, backwards cap, very long hair)
pulls up right behind me
and starts yelling something..
---
I'm thinking, shit did I cut him off or something?
I was not in the mood for road rage..
---
then I hear what he's saying...
---
"Duuuuude!!
That is the fcking most amazing license plate I've ever seen...
and I am gonna take a picture of it right now!!!
---
Thanks I said "Go ahead"
and he did, a couple in fact.
It was kind of cute how he got all exited.

I came home soon after, a friend came over, we went for this super long walk (close to 4 miles) and then made these incredible Garlic-Lime marinated Chicken Salads and sat down to watch some TV (which I don't usually do, but was cool for a change). Wow... two words

New kitchens ROCK! I need to have mine redone at some point too.
Well, no I wouldn't. But it's fun to dream.
I hate all the financial pretzels things can get into. And it does seem very wierd that you get a new kitchen out of the deal. What if you'd just redone your kitchen?
Maybe you should put a sink in your bedroom and declare that part of the kitchen.
lemuel: Oh I know what you mean, I get very confused at times.
tay: read above :) I suppose they are trying to improve the value of my condo, it is in the best interest of the trust to do so. I'm not complaining!! :)
vuboq: Yea 5 was definitely the one I thought would win, but 3 is pretty intense, don't you think?
brad: LOL My friend said the same thing!! You should have seen this guy...
scott: Yea I wonder...
butterfly: Yea it is kind of funny (altho the owner of said canoe didn't think so lol)
Glad you stopped by, I will have to check out your blog in a bit.
stephen: Wise yet at the same time tied us all up in paperwork! :)
Yes #3's eyes are killer
doug: Isn't it weird tho? I'm not complaining. My bedroom is fine, the kitchen needs the most work of any room in the house. But then again that is why it's being redone.
Have fun with the kitchen. When my parents redid their kitchen, it turned out pretty awesome. I am fascinated by all make-overs (but not so much the Sunday night show).
I'm also wondering about the boxed in canoe.
... and congrats on the new kitchen.
So! Are you going to do an 70's Avacado or Gold interior for the new kitchen? ;P
