Projects Done

This week we finished up the cellar, the painting, and the caulk work. Now it is just a matter of putting up with the smell, getting the rest of the stuff cleaned out and brought away, then the final cleaning before pictures on Wednesday in about 10 days. Should be manageable, but just barely. It will be great to have it all done before Naomi's surgery though. Helps that it is Chinese New Year, so I don't have much to do with the business. 

Also finished up working with my editor on the book. Working on the blurbs and such along with some final proofreading. Beth is busy with the spine and the back cover. Also figured out how to format it for publishing.

An investor just dumped 17 of their rentals on the market in Marquette, more than doubling the inventory. They tried to sell a lot of these properties two years ago, without any luck. Prices have dropped since then, so that is a good sign for us. Unfortunately, none of them are really fitting what we have in mind, and we aren't ready to pick up an investment property until after we get there and we have a better grip on our financial situation.

They approved our latest round of green card documents ahead of schedule, but said that we don't meet the financial requirements and a decision will be taken during the interview.
