It's for the kids!
Oscar needs a bigger yard.
The past few days have been a blur. Been all over the front range trying to finish projects up. But just called my realtor back to hear the good news that the septic system has been replaced and all the permits have been signed off and turned in, and that the title company and my lender are good to go for closing tomorrow. That means we close in the morning on my current property, then head to the bank to get a large cashier's check, then close on the new property later that afternoon. Going to be one hell of a day full of signing paperwork.
It's interesting, this is the first time that I had the realization I am selling my home of the past 10 years. I may actually miss that place some.
I do recall you posting up the fence project at the house - a fence that'll last quite some time.
That fence is a work of art and that alone would be hard to leave behind.

Both closings are done! Seller's signed their paperwork early this morning so they wouldn't have to meet us face to face. That said a lot about them, and I have no doubt all the issues throughout this process were indeed their fault and they know it. Also leaves me a bit worried about the condition they will leave the home in after the next 30 days...
Oh well, the negativity and stress of buying the property is over!
30 days and we can call this place home. Front:

After a very busy past few weeks managed to get out yesterday. Took a picture at playground by Central City cemeteries then went down road toward Columbine Campground as far as new air down/trailer spot. Got some funny looks. Things are looking more promising to get the Jeep out next month before school starts back up.

Pretty proud of my oldest son, for many reasons but the latest deals with his car. He has a 2005 Audi A4. Lately it started hesitating and the check engine light blinking while accelerating. Took it to a shop for diagnostic and they said it was the crankshaft position sensor, $200 for the part and $100 on labor. I told my son since we are both pretty busy with work and other things I'd pay it just to get it fixed in a timely manor. He said no and that he'd make time to fix it himself. I found the part (OEM manufacturer) online for under $50 shipped. The sensor is a PITA to get to. He just finished replacing it and even put all my tools away.
Nice.

In a never ending search for the proper mix of dirt & rock !
Decided to skip the gym this morning and give my pup Oscar a well deserved walk before it got too hot. He doesn't get too many during the summer as he gets overheated quickly. But 70 degree mornings are perfect! Think I need to do this more often for both our sakes!
Now I am in the shop wishing I was still out playing with the hound.
