Fingers crossed for the unicorn house!
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Good luck househunting, Hec!
Steph, good thoughts headed Tim's way.
Two people I know are currently in the hospital on ventilators with Covid, both vaxxed and boosted. One is a relative who has been battling cancer for a couple of years. He's probably not going to make it.

Ugh hate to hear vaxxed and boosted and still on a vent, yikes!! Good luck.
And house-ma to Zmayhem and Laura both!
I continue to not want to get up in the morning nor do work. I continue to do so. But I really want earlier sunrises.

Thanks. Like I said my relative was already very weak. I do not know the medical information on the other person I know because he is the man who is supposed to be putting a new roof on our house.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We're just reading up on buying a place in a Probate Sale. It's a little tricky and scary.
On the plus side, though, it would be a huge bargain and fit all our needs and beyond. Have to talk to our advisors about this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Side note on the location: It's a 15 minute walk from our current place, three blocks past Matilda's old elementary school. It's halfway between the Fairy Gates Trailhead in Sutro Forest and Tank Hill (where I asked JZ to marry me).

Best wishes for a successful house hunt. One of my coworkers is buying a new house - his only child is heading off to college, so they're downsizing from a BIG place in the 'burbs to something smaller and closer in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here's the listing: [link]
For comparison's sake, that price will barely get you a flat within a Victorian in our neighborhood. So to have a whole house with two complete flats, and a mother-in-law type unit with a big back yard near our neighborhood for that price is a huge bargain.
However, that means it'll also attract the attention of real estate investors who aren't looking to move in but flip it.
So a probate sale would involve a down payment to make a bid, and then an overbid process that the court would oversee.
With a place like this we could secure housing for Emmett and Matilda in the city as well, not to mention a separate M-i-L with its own bathroom and kitchen to put friends up for an extended stay.
And we'd go to town landscaping the hell out of that back yard. Does it need a gazebo? Maybe a Tiny House/Studio?
