To the Ranch...

We had breakfast and showers, then headed to the ranch. The real estate lady was meeting us there after 1pm to list the property and we were not sure what shape it was in. We first stopped and voted. There were selling hoagie outside, so we got a couple and two waters. It took us about an hour and a half to get to the ranch. Boy were we surprised. The place was full of cob webs and dead bugs. We both knew that it needed to be cleaned before the real estate lady got there. So we ate our hoagies and then went to wal-mart for a few things. We then began cleaning. I took the kitchen and right off the bat I found a snake skin. Not what I wanted to find and Beth was really not happy. So I made as much noise and necessary in hope of scaring it away if it was still in the kitchen. So after about 20 minutes of cleaning and no sign of the snake, it makes you wonder just where it is. Beth vacuumed the rest of the downstairs and then we went upstairs. It was not bad up there, except for the 3 dead mice we found. Again, Beth was not happy and I had to remove them. We had just finished the inside, when the real estate lady arrived. The took some measurements in the house, then we went to the basement. Again not good, as a pipe had sprung a leak and water was spraying all over everything. So we go the water shut off and will have to call a plumber. We then went to the barn and Beth got stung by a warp and again was not happy. The posted the for sale signs and put a lock on the door. We left shortly after 4pm and stopped by Long John Silver's and picked up dinner. We got home and rested for a bit. We had dinner and then had to go get Buster some dog food. We then stopped by DJ and Maggie's house to drop off her water she forgot the other day. We are both really tired and ready for bed. We need to work in the yard tomorrow as it is going to rain and need to get some stuff done before then.
