The weather has been a big help with cleaning up the yard. After the second mowing we've managed to make it look presentable as well as meeting some more neighbors in the process. It's good to know that the older folk from around here are as helpful as they are and not turning a suspicious eye to us, the young, tattooed and pierced virgin homeowners. We had to use an outdoor outlet on the neighbor's house to reach the north side of the house with the weed-whacker. After a short conversation about dogs, he commented many times on Kelly's slacking workload. After more poking fun at the newlyweds and woman's rights in general he went on his way. Another fairly normal neighbor. It's easy to see that the old saying is true:
"If you don't have and weird neighbors, YOU'RE the weird neighbor."
Last week we also came across a vanity sink and taps in great condition. We now just need the cabinets (which I'll most likely just build) to renovate the bathroom. Before and after pics will ensue shortly.
On the business side of things, I've printed out all the documents needed to go over with our new tenants. They've agreed to sign pretty much anything but we've come to the conclusion that the best choice of action is to go with a month to month lease up until August and just progress from there. That way we have a chance to get to know them and be sure we have trustworthy and reliable tenants. So far they are proving to be just that, so we hope our luck continues.
Things to pick up:
-Copy of the Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies Act
-Receipt book (for damage deposits and rent collection)
