Hubby's trip to China got delayed until Wednesday - hooray! He'll be getting home just in time for a trip we had planned to Williamsburg. They have special homeschool days in Colonial Williamsburg for a fraction of what you'd normally pay for admission.
I'm going to take my camera over to the rental house next time we go, so I can show you all the work we've done. You won't believe how nice it looks. I don't believe how much time it took, but then when you do everything yourself, it takes longer.
Hubby was commenting to me yesterday that a landlord really has to wear many hats. A landlord is:
- a manager
- a babysitter
- a painter
- a handyman
- a carpet installer
- a complaints department
- a detective
- a collections department
- an accountant
And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I'm seriously thinking about writing a book on being a landlord. Even in the short decade we've been doing it, we've learned a LOT. Mostly because we've made a LOT of mistakes. But if our stupidity can help other people, I guess it's worth it.
