BTW, looks like the original Rat will not be leaving the canyon - boss sez too much good ceramic tile work to disturb. I am inclined to rent it out rather than let it sit under-utilized.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100999113439449482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-39620890219600966322008-05-29T07:52:00.000-05:002008-05-29T07:52:00.000-05:00Just a little nudge...We have a lot of wild life h...Just a little nudge...We have a lot of wild life here on the East Side.

I feel that urge myself from time to time. Kick myself for buyin' this house, but there you go. Guess I can always move too. Sell it and go, but not right now, withthe market the way it is.
