Not our next house

One of our tenants does the occasional job for us, and he mentioned one morning that a lawyer had visited his wife the previous day and that they had inherited a house. They weren't counting their chickens quite yet.

They were also a little concerned about breaking our lease (1 month early as it turns out), but heck - they got a free house. So today I ran 5 trips in the pickup for them as they moved stuff to the new house.

New house is in pretty good condition all things considering. Not sure about the colour though....

Bit concerned about our house they are leaving though. It's had 4 years since it's big overhaul and it's desperately tired right now. I wish I had a couple of weeks to spend over there to try and get it back into shape. Really considering about working a couple of hours each evening there to be honest.

Did a bit of a look round the house whilst we were moving stuff, and yet again, the idiot contractor from 4 years ago cutting corners - like painting trim in the colour of the walls rather than white, using semi-gloss paint on the walls, etc. It'll never be a palace, but it needs a little TLC.

Chances of Rue Max getting done before Italy are pretty close to zero now which is more than annoying.
