On Thursday, Hick made a handshake deal with Some Guy to purchase Lap House. That's a flip house that fell into Hick's lap on Monday, a house inherited by Some Guy from a friend who passed away. They agreed to meet at the title office for an appointment the following Monday to draw up legal paperwork.
On Saturday, Hick came home from his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5) with a hope-dampening tale.
"Some Guy was at my unit today. I'd told him I'd trade him for a truck he has. He wanted a couple of my guns. He come in an picked out the most expensive one, and said, 'I'll take this one, and another one.' I told him, 'Well, I haven't had a chance to look at the truck yet. So it will have to wait.'"
"Oh, no! Now he'll be disgruntled, and might not go through with the house deal!"
"No. He also come in sayin' that another guy had offered him more for the house. Then he said, 'But I made a deal with you. So I'll stick to it.' I think he will. But we'll find out Monday if he shows up for the paperwork."
"Why are you trading for a truck? You don't need a truck! How are you gonna sell a truck?"
"Old Buddy wants the truck. I figure I can work the money out of him."
"Yeah, IF he shows up to work!"
Anyhoo... everything still seems to be go for the deal on Lap House. Right?
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of How the Gift House Drops.
