Looking Around

Another day gone and I still have 8 dogs. I think I've hit a slump. It's only been 2 weeks since my last dog got adopted but it feels like longer. Maybe that's because I didn't run out and replace him with a new dog so my group feels like they've been here forever.

On the way to the adoption event I drove through the neighborhood where I am interested in buying a house. Yesterday I looked up the crime map for the area and this neighborhood had the least amount of crime compared to the other areas I was looking at and, surprisingly, no sex offenders. The houses are, um, a bit homely in my opinion. Slump block, low or flat roofs, one story. I could tell that some people took pride in maintaining their homes and others didn't care. I am eager to see inside the houses next week.

I managed to slip away today and buy some more vinyl tile. I picked a cheaper pattern and didn't even realise that the tiles were supposed to be installed in line instead of staggered. I had already started the staggered pattern so I had to continue.

It doesn't really matter. This old mobile home will probably end up in the junk yard soon anyway. Oh, and I think my roof patching job worked. It has only rained once but that leaky area was dry. Now I just need to do a better job of sealing around the air conditioners and the dog doors.
