House Search Redux

Momoko would not do any more driving. So I had to take the wheel. I went by McDonald's to order some new chicken tenders. The line was too long. And the drive through had two speakers that merged into one lane. I left and went to the first house.

Started looking at a house from the alley. It was a brand new townhouse. It had two carport spaces front to back. The whole neighborhood was new town houses. There was no grass to mow. It had a $50 HOA fee. At least it was an end unit.

Next I tried looking at a cheaper new house. It was close to the town house. It boasted mini-split A/C units in the bedrooms. And it had a leaf guard on the rain gutters. However when we saw the house, it was not a single family as advertised. It was a duplex. Nope.

Finally we looked at another single family house. It had a narrow but very deep back yard. It was built in 1830. That was big concern, as we just saw a Mike Holmes show that uncovered tons of issues in a really old house. This turned out to be moot. The house was on a totally busy street.

Afterwards, I went to a Sonic drive through for a SuperSonic burrito. We got there one hour before the place closed. I brought the food back to our hotel room. The ride back to the hotel was short. That means the ride from these places, which were all close to each other, was very short to Fuddruckers. 

Getting Lost on the Mountain

I was dreaming about winning the lottery jackpot. Then with the proceeds, I would buy a vacation house up north near a Fuddruckers restaurant. I had Momoko drive me to a few houses for sale. Today I took the wheel to see some more expensive houses. The last one was on a mountain road.

The GPS told us to take a road that had a covered one lane bridge. I skipped that road because it was hard to navigate. We were headed to the mountain road. Some guy in a sit down lawn mower came down a hill fast and almost came out on the street in front of us. We passed him and found the house for sale. It was too close to a busy road.

We went on and ended up by some faire grounds. Momoko entered the address of a restaurant by our hotel to guide us home. She later said her phone had a glitch. This mountain home was 10+ minutes from our hotel. However the GPS said it would take a half hour to get back there. I had to pull off the road for Momoko to calibrate the GPS. We essentially did a U-turn and back tracked to get back on the road we came from.

I am now safe in the hotel room. I plan to do some studying before the July 4 holiday. That way we can just have it be a travel day without any extra chores.
