I got a lot of stuff done today. Some of the stuff I got done was work stuff and some of it was personal stuff, but all in all, I felt very productive.



1. Picked up fridge dolly, delivered to tenant Bryan

2. Sanded remaining patches on walls at 349

3. Secured loose drywall to stud, patched so that it looked more wall-like.

4. Painted remaining living room wall, stairwell, two bedrooms, one closet, the hallway, and the bathroom in 349.

5. Edged kitchen, hallway, one bedroom, started on edges of bathroom

6. Called Zion (a bank) to inquire about how to remove money from our account there in case Mike wants to buy that building he's looking at. We can wire transfer (there's a charge) or, if we're willing to wait seven to ten days, they can mail us a check for free. Huzzah!

7. Called back the guy who wanted to buy a lot in the valley to build a cabin on. (Told him no dice, he'd have to buy a pre-existing lot with a cabin on it, if/when a current owner decided to sell.)

8. Rented the little house at 321 to tenants who probably don't suck.

9. Removed for-rent sign from 321

10. Visited the framing place. That'll be done in two weeks. They said they'd call me when it was done.

11. Took pocket change to the bank and got it deposited. Thirty-six dollars and a bit. :)

12. Picked up ghastly prescription mouthwash from the pharmacy.

13. Watched the fire in the Greystone (building apparently did not burn down, but cause of fire unclear. Owners are in desperate financial straits. Could be arson, there. We shall have to see.) The Greystone (historical and on the national register of blah blah blah, used to be Fraser's Tavern) is catty-corner from my office on the intersection of Pitt and Richard in Bedford.

14. Made beef-and-barley soup. Mmm-mmm good!

Well, as it turned out, they most definitely did *not* save the Bush House. Some people at work know the guy who owns Schnitzel's, the German tavern & bierhaus in the basement, and they said that he had been worried about the ancient landmark creaking over his head, and especially worried about fires, back the last time Schnitzel's got walloped, during the hurricane-remnant floods in Nov. 2004. At the time, he said that he would rebuild no matter what happened, because of the location - as this (http://planet-zero.org/~chromal/bush_tavern_fire/tn/P1010144.JPG.html) photo of the rubble-strewn patio shows, it's a brilliant location for the tourist trade, or at least, whatever tourist trade a three-gingham tweebox burg like Bellefonte is ever likely to attract.
