The weeks news. A chat with a Realtor
It’s been a quiet week up here on the mountain. My little slice of heaven in the great northwest.
The lovely wife has started hauling teams to games, though school won’t start until after Monday, then shortly afterwards, things really start to get busy. We’ve been prepping last minute things up here before the cold sets in. The UTV is in town at the shop, waiting in line for service. They assure me it will be returned before snow flies, and I am sure it will. Today, we got the pellet stove ready by vacuuming it out and making sure the pipe was clear.
Last Monday, the lovely wife and I were heading up to our only neighbor, Joe. We were hauling ramps up that needed to be welded. These ramps are for driving the UTV and snowmobiles onto our big trailer, and they were in need of repairs. Anyway, as we got to the road up to his cabin, there was a pickup blocking the road with a woman trying to plant a “for sale” sign in the rocky ground next to the road. It turns out her and her husband are Realtors, and were listing a property up at the top of the mountain. I jokingly said we were planning to put our cabin up for sale soon, and she said she would love to help us. We made an appointment with her for Wednesday, and now, she will be listing our cabin at the end of this month, if everything goes as planned. I won’t tell you what she said we should list it for, but when I told her we were open to leaving the UTV, along with the big trailer, snowmobiles, 4-wheeler, ATC, and the 21-cubic-foot fridge, she seemed to think this place would sell quickly. We weren’t really wanting to leave before the first of June 2023, but if someone wants it that badly, we’ll be moving. We have found a little place in Maine we really like. It’s near the coast and on a dead-end road with 2 acres of land, some of which we can fence off for the dogs to have a yard to run around in. I only hope it’s still available if we sell this place as fast as the Realtor thinks it will sell, then one of us will be flying back east to buy a home, while the other one starts packing for the move. Yes, we will have to move quickly before winter hits, or we won’t get off this mountain until mid May.
Neither of us have a problem selling the “toys”; when you use them as a means of transportation every single day, you really don’t mind selling them off, never wanting to see them again. Besides, if we really decided we wanted another UTV, or snowmobile, etc, I think we can buy them back east. Also, we have been looking at peddle kayaks that have a small electric motor and paddles. They look like fun, and a couple of them would get us out of the house during the summer and onto a lake. We think we just might buy a couple next summer, or perhaps even before we move, though, I really don’t want to haul them east as that would mean hanging onto the big trailer. We don’t want to haul that if we don’t have to.
Well, that’s all the news for the week. Bye for now.
