The
reason that there has not been much news lately is primarily because
I have not done much to the house or yard lately, other than weeding
a little in the veg plots. I currently have a half dozen tomatoes, a
potato, 2 beans, a hoard of radishes and 7 garlic plants surfaced and
growing, and plenty of seeds not yet showing.
I
have now however continued with the next stage of painting lower
hallway trim. Whether or not I left the window surround white or
painted it was a personal choice, due to the fact that it was made of
a material that did not require painting to stay looking fresh. I
decided I would rather it were Tibetan Gold than white, though.
I
have had little luck with selling excess stuff. Ebay presented me
with a few troublesome customers who won bids only to announce that
they did not realize it was collection only, and one worse. One lady
made such a fuss about her purchase that I have decided not to
continue selling at Ebay. I find the fees excessive, but had
planned to sell some stuff that did not have much value there until
this incident.
I
am now concentrating on Craigslist and the local selling page at
Facebook. Gumtree gets zero response and unfortunately Craigslist
appears to be much the same. I have also decided to host a garage
sale in order to hurry along the clearing out of the spare room so
that i can progress to painting it, just in case I opt on getting a
lodger rather than PT local work when my funds run out.
