April 2019 Property Update

The Ranch: Nothing new to report

The Store: Charged the mower battery and got the grass mowed.

The Detail Shop: Mowed the grass.

The Shop: Mr. L got the leak in the heater unit repaired — it needed a new part. Now he’s ready to have heat in the shop area next winter. He’s so happy. Mr. L cleaned up the showroom area and made space for our sort of annual indoor yard sale, and that went well. His plan is to paint the ceiling now that he has the space cleared again.

The Central TX House: I made a little progress on winter yard work. Yard is mowed again. I still need to trim.

San Antonio House: In January, we took the Spitfire down to the San Antonio house and pushed it into the garage. We removed everything we plan to remove except the stove. The new owner made an appearance, got her walk-though, and picked up keys. Mr. L has some things he’s promised her he will do at a to-be-determined date. After this, we will no longer be reporting on the San Antonio house, because it isn’t ours anymore.

The Ranch: Wildlife Management Report for 2018 submitted before the end of 2018. Working this year’s plan now.

The Store: No change.

The Detail Shop: No change.

The Shop: Mr. L has been sorting and putting away parts and other things.  Mr. L got some plumbing work completed in preparation for getting a gas meter installed and an internal heating unit operational.
