Got my last load of gravel/river rock Saturday. Rear drainage is pretty much complete until I decide to expand it.
Total cost was about probably about $500.
About $200 for the 4" drain line and connections
3 trips for gravel between $65-90 a load
Metal railing I think was about $100.
Yay, done
Now that the drainage situation is pretty much solved in this area I can work on closing in the rear area for the "catio".

Here's an instructional video for owning your first home. Has some car maintenance tips in there too. Good luck!

Is the upstairs the one with the green carpet and shit?[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2017 1:02 pmBig living room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast nook, 2 bedrooms and a bath downstairs.Acid666 wrote:
How many rooms is the house?
Upstairs is one big room and a half bath.
We have a regular rectangular shaped house but the back half of it is completely shotgun that goes the entire length of the house. The open space is nice, but the living room area is just a mantle where we have a tv and a couch and we're never in it.
Makes us rethink our space there.

Getting the one page of my escrow package that needs to be notarized done today, then mailing that all out. Appraisal is happening this week. Fingers crossed on that. As long as that comes in at or above my selling price, we should be all on track to close on 11/2. Buyer sounds like he has his loan all worked out already, so we could close even sooner. That'd be nice. If we could close before the end of the month I'd be pumped.

Roofer s are coming back tomorrow morning for attempt #2 at installing AC. I will be there overseeing them.
Honestly, if the thing didn't weigh a ton, and if I was built like to I'd just install the damn thing myself. But I'll make sure they do it right tomorrow.

Plus, defective heart and all.
