We have tenants! And what nice tenants indeed. Long story short is that my cousin saw a posting on the Mount Holly newsflash, an e-bulletin board of some sort-I have never visited it, but perhaps I should start, and sent it to me. I called the number given and had a pleasant chat with Nice Young Man who explained that he and his wife were looking for a place. Turns out he is a native Mainah and once did some work for a good friend of mine. I saw my friend on Thursday and she immediately said, “Oh, he cleaned out my basement. He’s a Nice Young Man.” Good enough for me. I sent off some pictures of the place along with the address for this blog figuring that if Nice Young Couple were still interested once they saw the good, the bad, and the ugly, it would be a gift from heaven. Turns out they liked what they saw and we made arrangements for a hasty trip to Vermont to show the place. Nice Young Couple ended up taking the place for a year and we couldn’t be happier.
We are now moved over to the other side of the house feeling very much like we have stepped back a year into semi-camping mode again. It’s all progress and the view from the room we are using for a bedroom/living room now is the best in the house. Who could ask for more?
