Two Guys and a Truck With No Trailer

While Hick was dealing with the HVAC guy loading our AC with coolant on Thursday, he got a call from Realtor. She said the buyers for the Double Hovel flip house(s) had done their final walk-through, and did not want the furniture Hick had in the buildings. He sent me a text while I was in town, saying that he was going to pick up Old Buddy, so they could move it.

"I have to go to town and get furniture out of houses they had walk threw and all good but want furniture out I'm going to get Old Buddy."

It wasn't a lot of furniture. The main house had a kitchen table with bench seats. The living room had a couple of small tables and a lamp and a recliner. The Beauty Shop had a bed and a dresser with a mirror. Hick had taken these out of the QuickFlip house we bought and sold within a month last summer. You didn't think Hick would ask THAT seller to remove any furniture, did you? It was FREE STUFF!!! The Pony has one of those beds in the second bedroom. As The Pony calls it: "That dead woman's bed." Not that she died in it or anything. She was in a nursing home when she died. Her sons inherited the house and sold it to us.

Anyhoo... Hick and Old Buddy spent about 3 hours moving furniture. The bed and dresser went into Bargain House. The rest Hick put in his third storage unit! I KNOW! Before long, Hick will be the sole resident of that storage lot!

The closing is Monday afternoon for us. Not sure if the buyers will be there before or after, but we're never there at the same time, unless seeing them in passing. Hick has said that he will leave the electricity on until Wednesday, as a convenience for them. Same with the water/trash service. He had considered just letting them switch the name, so they didn't have to put up a deposit with the city, and then decided he wants the deposit back. It's $150. He probably would have let it go, but for the shingles and termite issue on that contract that supposedly had NO CONDITIONS...
