R|Relo #3: a l'il rumble

answers to SOME more of your questions ...

• up in the BA yet? - No. trust me, you'll know before i leave SD, because i'll make sure to tell you in advance.

• what kind of "WORK" will you have done on the place you'll be living? - at a minimum, the regular wear & tear will be addressed ... also the carpets to the place will be pulled-out in most of the rooms so that hardwood (or the like) floors will be placed. carpets may be replaced where hardwood floors are not used. painting walls. bathroom tub replacement. new appliances. shutters or blinds versus retaining the drapes. whatever else comes up after the home/termite inspection. and the one 'major' thing is that i'd like to punch out a non-loadbearing wall.
  
• relo plans finished? - No. we have a general framework and have identified several main milestones. this wednesday, i am meeting with todd & susan for lunch at extraordinary desserts to get plans more detailed and start moving forward.
• dog in BA? - Yes, that's the plan. i will get a dog when i am up in BA. this will happen after i get settled a bit.
  
• keeping a place in SD? - No, but maybe ... but ... i don't yet know, my current place is much more room than i need. however, i'm mulling over whether to get a smaller place here in SD for the BA-SD-BA-SD-BA-SWA trips. i'm very tempted. there is an apartment in the complex i live in, but it's occupied right now; no indication that the fellow will be moving on. it would be totally perfect! (my landlord is great!)
  

o.k. - that's enough for this week. drop by again - and ask me other questions!
