Day 3- October 3rd

Not much to report today.  We had a slight delay in the escrow as the title was unclear.  Apparently way back in the earliest years of when the house was built, a woman and her second husband gave a quit claim deed to another couple for the purchase of the property, but there was a question as to the wife having a deed.  It was later proven to have been an inheritance from her first husband.  The title is finally cleared and we can close escrow tomorrow!  Now the fun really begins.  The car is loaded with new locks, bug bombs, no trespassing signs, locks for the gates and of course, toilet paper and light bulbs!  Gotta have the essentials!

(Water meter was set but unbeknownst to us, it was not reset to 00 and our first water bill showed 78,000 gallons of water was used!  Took several months to get that worked out with the billing department.  We do not have a pool, let alone an olympic sized pool!  Not even a hot tub, yet!)
