Homes??
Hello everyone:
We are back in touch finally. Finally on line with our own computer. (Can you hear the relief in my typing?) If you haven't heard, we now have a land line phone as well. (707) 648-1949. Anyone can call whenever they would like (hint hint).
That is interesting about you getting some time of real estate, Larry. All good points from you and Charley. The bottom line is it would just be nice to have your own place and not have to deal with landlords. In regards to marinas here, California has had a law for years of only 10% liveaboards at each marina. And most marinas are at their limit there.
And speaking of living space. We were told a week ago by the government agency that governs such things that we could not leave the houseboat here. They are not license to have floating homes only normal boats. Lars tried to fight it a bit, saying it was a 'one of' occurrence for the manager but they said no way. So we were a bit depressed about it as this would have been the perfect set up for us. (And we are tired of construction) The good news is we still have the lighthouse. We went through it on Friday with Lars & Nancy to discuss renovation options. We will take of the entire 3rd floor and 1/2 of the second. Get a completely new kitchen, bath, take a couple walls out, get a skylight above the bedroom, etc. It's not too much really. We insisted that Whitey get some assistance this time. They have 60 days to do the work so start today tearing out carpet, etc.
Besides that life is good here. Enjoying ourselves.
Take care,
Max
