Sierra Foothill Home

Yesterday Friday, October 1 hubby and I drove up to the foothills. It's inspection day. We went up early, stopped at the Assessor's office and he got the map of the property. Today he wanted to check the location of the borders. We had brunch at the Waffle house by I-50. I forgot my Dramamine (I do not like windy roads. I tend to get car sick) so we stopped at a drug store. I end up getting SEA-BAND - it works really well for me. It is drug free. It is this wrist band with a plastic stud and positioned in a way that it applies pressure on the "Nei Kuan" acupressure points on each wrist.

I am not intending of going with hubby to walk the property in the intense heat and dirt (I got allergies too) so I bought magazines ( People, Better Homes, and Sunset) to read and a paperback (O' Hurley Born by Nora Roberts)..... and a pack of Red Vines. Hubby is all set with camera and the GPS (to locate the coordinates)on his waist, bottle of water on his pocket, and sunblock. Set myself with a chair by the truck. It is so fulfilling to sit and listen to nature. It is very quiet and all you could hear are the birds chirping. The neighbor is far away.


The inspector arrived and did his job. The finding is the same as what we already know. It is good to know that the foundation is built like Fort Knox. The only problem is the deck and of course the swimming pool. It needed cleaning ( it has been empty for a while) and maybe resurfacing. There is no deep end! It is a lap pool. I am not going to drown! Woohoo!

Below is the lowest deck that collapsed. Apparently it was not built right, wrong materials, and no maintenance. It can and will be rebuilt.

 Wondered why there are acorn nuts stucked between the roof and the rafters. Well, I guess it is the work of the squirrels. Huh?
