Nan and I are back in the Cleveland area until Dec 15. We are seeing doctors/dentists and friends. Today Nan and I went to see the eye doctor in Berea where I grew up. The first house I bought was in Berea. I paid $31,000 in 1985 and sold it for $52,000 in 1989 after a lot of work. It is now for sale for $28,900. There's something going on with the house since it is to be sold "as is" and the buyer is responsible for outstanding tax liens. I attached pictures and videos of Nan and my first love shack.
I have a truck mechanic I use close to Berea. I dropped my truck off for service when I got to the area, and picked it up today after looking at the house. I had the usual oil change/lube service, plus a new transmission cooler, AC recharge, and exhaust section, plus a couple of little things. All that for only $2,000. This guy only charges $75/hour compared to $130 at a truck dealer.
I have a 2 week job starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. Then we head to Florida for Christmas.
