I got up around 9:00 today. Tom
having multi-symptoms today, we decided to get some Tylenol for Cold. I made French toast for breakfast while
waiting for the Alex (Biff Baker Fence). After we finish the breakfast we went
outside and we saw our neighbor. We walked over and talked to her (name: Alma
78 year old), she seem pretty nice.
We found out she was working on a nursing home and she live with her son (which was over 50 year old and grandson who was over 30 year old). She bought this mobile home and living here since 1999. At 11:00 Alma told us she had to go to work, so we walked back to our trailer.
Tom took the tool (wire, pliers, pry bar and the stool) to the end of our fence, because some of the fences were loses. Then we received a phone call from Alex and he was running a little late, he should be here anytime. Alex did not got here until 12:15 p.m., I was so hungry and I started eating my sandwich while Tom was talking to him. Alex using the measure wheel to measure the fence line, we told him what we wanted. He went back to his Gray Hyundai car and wrote up a contract. He came back with the amount approx. $3200. Tom tried to get a better price and told him we were not in hurry to get this fence put in, he can take his time. Alex told Tom that they would like to finish the job within 3 to 4 days, they do not like to wait. He would like us to pay credit card. Tom told him that we could pay him cash or check, if we paid him credit card, the card company will charge you 5% or more for service fee. While we were talking Alex received a phone call form his boss (which he told us his boss is his best friend). He come and told us per his boss if we pay him cash he can cut down the sale tax, we only need to pay $2950. He wanted us to pay 50% down and paid the other half when the job done. Tom agreed with this amount and we all went to Chase Bank to get the cash. After he left, then I remembered that we did not give him the lock and chain, so he can lock the gate after they finished the fence.So we had to drive back to out trailer and got all the stuff and went to his company. Alex showed me the factory warehouse, while we walked around he told me his friend would like to rent our land. I asked him for the name and phone number, he wrote it for me.
It was around 4:00 p.m. Tom wanted to go downtown to City office of Tucson, we thought they closed at 5pm. We were losing our direction on the way to there, because we did not remember the building. We finally found the place and parked our truck on a city street. We went inside and we both needed to use the bathroom very bad. When I came out from the bathroom, Tom was still standing outside the office. He told me the office closed at 4:00 p.m. not 5:00 p.m. While we were driving back to our trailer, Alex called us and reminds us to clean out the cactus. We went back to our trailer and I started my dinner. We have pork chop and New York Steak for dinner. Since Tom was sick we went to bed early.
