Another Yard Sale and Appraisal

We spent most of last week getting things ready for another yard sale. We have had good luck so far. On Saturday we had our 3rd yard sale. We didn't know how this one would turn out since it was Easter weekend but we decided to have one anyway and see what happens.  For each sale we've had we listed it with the local newspaper in print and online. We also posted it on Craigslist and put out yard sale signs at the main intersections near our house. We had a good turnout once again and was able to sell a lot of stuff. There wasn't a lot left after the sale that we had to bring back in. We also continue to sell a few things from time to time that we have listed on Craigslist. We are planning on having one more sale in about two weeks and hopefully we will be able to wrap it up.

I have an appointment this coming Thursday at Lazydays RV where we bought our motor home to have the last of the 30 day warranty items taken care of. Even though we bought this motor home last August they are very good about taking care of any issues you have after purchase. I had the motor home in for these items already but they weren't fixed completely on my last visit which I think was in October or November. My service writer said they would take care of it and since the snow birds were beginning to come back down and they were getting very busy I could wait until things slowed a little before bringing it back. We really like Lazydays. We bought both of our motor homes from them and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase an RV.

My appointment is for 9:00 AM on Thursday and the plan is to stay until Saturday evening. I took Thursday and Friday off and Ellen will come over Friday night after work. They have a little sports bar cafe called Exit 10 Cafe at the Lazydays Campground across the street and we enjoy stopping by for a few cold ones and visiting with Mike and Julie. They work at Exit 10 and we always look forward to going over and seeing them. We always have a good time.

There is a shop on the Lazydays property called Wades RV. They custom make snap on tire covers for motor homes and while the RV is in for service they are going to install the tire covers on the motor home. We've been wanting to get these for a long time.

We received a call from Don last Friday and the appraisal was scheduled for Monday at 11:00 AM. The appraisal was done yesterday and we were told the bank should have it by Wednesday. Don said the appraiser was impressed with all the upgrades we have done to the house. He also said MidFlorida Credit Union, who will be financing the house for the young man who is buying it, allows a little more leeway with appraisers for upgrades so we're hoping everything works out well. We should know by Wednesday.

Until next time...
