Blame Trish for this

Trish told me that she reads my blog every day. So I will try to give her some reading material. I didn't say that it wouldn't be boring. But I think I will share with you the sagas of my house woes.

It all started a couple of weeks ago. Well, actually it was longer than that. When we paid off this house we were sent the wrong title. We knew it was the wrong title but put it aside to deal with later. Well later is here. So the credit union finally completed the paperwork for us. Part of the process involved me talking with a county assessor employee. She looked at the paperwork and said everything looked good and as long as my taxes were current I could send in the paperwork. I knew that I had paid my taxes so no problem there. WRONG! She told me that my trailer taxes are in someone else's name. And of course they had not been paid this year. I will make this as simple as possible. My neighbor's lot originally had one trailer on it (mine, but I didn't live there yet.) Then the guy divided the parcel and put our trailer on a small parcel and put a new trailer for him on the big section. We have the deed for our property and pay taxes on that but our trailer was taxed on the other property. I think I now have that corrected. That took 2 trips to the assessor. Then this morning my contractor called and said that he was having trouble locating my parcel number. So it was one more trip to my new friends at the assessor's office. It was easy to fix.

I also got a call from the lady who sold us the new house. She said that the builders want to put the same linoleum in the master bathroom as is in the utility room and kitchen. They put the flooring down 1st and then build the walls and this would be much easier for them. Since the 2 rooms are only divided by the wall. I told her that that would be ok if the other colors I had picked out for in there matched it ok. She called back later and said that my colors did not look good with that flooring and so she called the builders and told them that they would just have to do it the way I had chosen. Guess she told them. I guess I'd really better like that bathroom.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow I am supposed to go try to get a building permit. I am so excited. I may not be able to sleep tonight.
