Tucson Winter Trip - (Day 15) - Aldon Road


1/1/2013 (Tuesday)

Tom had set his cell phone alarm to 9:30 a.m. to meet with the real estate agent. But we did not got up until 9:45 a.m. At first we want to cook noodle for breakfast, but we did not have time. We re-heat yesterday pizza for breakfast. Tom was in such a hurry, he forgot to wash his face and comb his hair. While we were driving, we received massage from Yetive telling us that the Coldwell Banker building needed paint today. We needed to go to the back door, so Tom parked his truck in the back and walked to the back door. Yetive opened the door then we went inside the office.  She had us sign the change for  some of the terms we requested the bank to work on the land. The bank just found out there was no septic tank; if we want one we need to put one in ourselves.

We left the office and went to Safeway and bought donuts 2 for $1. Like always I eat the donut before we went back to our trailer. We went to Trader Joes’s location on N. Campbell Ave and Limber Lost. But they close for the New Year date, next we tried to visit our tenant Steven, we saw his BMW car park inside the car port. We rang the bell, but no one answered the door. So we left the house and went to Fry’s Food and Dollars Tree on Grant Road. We walked around both stores but did not find anything to buy.
 
 Tom drove from Grant Rd. to Gate Pass Rd. to Tucson Mountain Park.
 

 
 
 Then we used Kinney Rd to go home, but before we went home we saw two other property. One is a land and one is a house.We met an 80 years old guy walked next to the land we were seeing. He said this land was vacant for more than 10 years, no one want to buy it. He told us he wanted to buy this land 20 years ago, and told us the bank was asking too much money from him. We all walked inside the land we find two creeks on the back side of the land. The old man told us there were a lot of nice mobile homes on the Tucson Estate near Donald Rd. We drove by the area and saw a lot of sale sign, most of them in good condition. At the end of Aldon Rd. there was a $10,000 land sold last year. The land have many cactus and no flat land. I don’t like this land. On the way back we saw some fence that were four feet and five feet high. We think the five feet high will be better for us. We also see the gate with the solar power to open the gate, Tom took some pictures. When we came back to our trailer, Tom started measures the land to see if it the same as the county measurement. We measures 234 feet, and the county measures 238 feet on the length. On the width we measures 161 feet, and the county measures 174.81 feet. Which it 13.81 feet difference, which was unknown to us. We lost the use of two sides of our land as road for the neighbors.  After I done help Tom, I went back inside the trailer and started cooking dinner for tonight. We have another cold night; again we need to turn on our heater over night.
