Hick came home around 1:30 on Monday. He was in the bathroom when I heard his phone ring, and a muffled conversation.
"Who was that, your girlfriend?"
"It was Old Buddy. He went by the flip house, and seen that guy who bought it has the water heater out of the Beauty Shop, and on the front porch of the main house. I guess he's already tearing it out. I can understand him wanting to switch the water heaters. The one from the Beauty Shop is new. The other one works fine. It just needs to be flushed out, because of the water standing in it. Oh, well. It's HIS. He bought it. So I guess he can do what he wants with it..."
Poor Hick. And his buddy Old Buddy. They've put so much time into that property. And now it's being ripped apart. Too bad that Old Buddy lives near there, and that it's on Hick's way to The Pony's house and the Senior Center. Maybe when the construction starts on the new roundabout, their paths will be diverted by the detours.
That is a bummer for sure :(

ReplyDeleteIt might be different if Hick had just slapped something together haphazardly, but he tried to make it nice, though with bargains he found or recycled.
DeleteIt is sad to see things like that after all the work he did, but maybe he can find a different way to drive for a while? Probably there aren't many options. It will be a case of "grin and bear it"
ReplyDeleteYes, Hick needs to stay away, and stop listening to Old Buddy's tattling.
