It's much like the old adage "You get what you pay for". You think you're getting the *deal of a lifetime*, only to see whatever it is, break or fall apart in record time. So, if you think you're saving money by not attending to repairs in and around the house, you will eventually pay far more than you would have, had you kept up with repairs and improvements. It's just that simple. Mr. Snoots is finding this to be a very hard learned lesson. I can't say that I blame him.
Mr. Snoots still hasn't secured a painter for the outside or the inside. I'm not sure what we're waiting on. I've made enormous strides in cleaning out the house. It's actually beginning to look like hoarders don't live here. I have yet to finish cleaning out the guest house, but since most of it will go into *el dumpster*, I'm not worried.
On another note, the new fox, Fifi, has a mate, which totally surprised us. Also, the foxes have discovered that we have a cat and they seem to be VERY interested in her. I find this to be a disturbing development. They are spending a worrisome amount of time in our yard and, like I said before, I don't trust Fifi completely yet. So, Trouble The Cat's outside time is down to when I can be out there to supervise. Frankly, the foxes discovered her hiding place, which means she IS NOT SAFE.
By the way, it is 104 degrees Fahrenheit as I write.....
