No progress on the slow leak at TA 14 except for a lot of holes in the wall that I will have to fix later. Am letting it leak overnight to see if that makes it easier to tell where the water is coming from. (It leaks about a gallon over the course of a week. Tenant will not be flooded out overnight.)
Rent for Tenant Who Destroys Things is now up to 625 per month, in accordance with the wishes of She Who Must Be Obeyed over on Richard Street. We're also to bill Tenant Who Destroys Things for some of the repair costs for the bathroom, which Willie & Wife got done over the course of a Very Busy Saturday.
Store at SST is not paying own electric -- checked that with fuse panel this AM. Wrote letter to them, mailed it out certified today. Lease says that they are to pay own electric. I took the approach that this was "error of oversight on both of our parts", be sure to pretend that we have an Annual Utility Bill Audit if asked. I waited until they gave us WRITTEN notice of intent to move on 1-16-09, before I asked for $ for back electric bills. My asking is not going to make them move. They already were going to be moving BEFORE I asked them to pony up back electric bill money. At this point, the worst they can do is stick us with seven hundred (or so) dollars of electric bills and move. Since that's exactly what would happen anyway if I didn't ask 'em for the back electric bill money, there is nothing but upside, here.
No progress on Co-Op bank account transfers. I will send out a new letter to appropriate peoples early next week asking for an address where I can mail checkbooks and records.
Bedford Water Authority says prices are going up 66% next year so that we can build a whole new wastewater treatment thing and Save The Chesapeake. People are kind of alarmed about the cost, there. Personally, I'm glad that the government has discovered what is killing the Chesapeake (Culprit: sewage from Bedford) and is taking steps to make it stop. I look forward to the improvement of the Chesapeake's water quality starting shortly after the completion of our new water treatment plant. Blue crabs for everyone!
