Two days ago I got a call from a lady who had an apartment for rent in Hau’ula, the town just south of Laie. I had called her about the place a week ago and she’d just rented it. That fell through so she called to see if we were still interested. It’s a three-bedroom two-bath unfurnished apartment on the ground floor with a carport. No air conditioning, but it certainly would be sufficient for the next 5 1/2 months. She wanted more that the Church was willing to pay, however, so it looked like it wasn’t going anywhere.

This morning she called back and agreed to rent at the price the Church was willing to pay for 5 1/2 months given that she could close off one bedroom and store some stuff in there and, for some reason, close off one bathroom. There is another bathroom in the master bedroom, that just means anyone coming to the house would have to use the bathroom in our bedroom (but it also means one less bathroom to clean). We also can’t have anyone else stay in the other bedroom unless we pay vacation rental for that time. It’ll make a nice study / office. 

So, the final contract is being drawn up now and we should be able to move in next week. 

Today we finished getting everything out of our garage so they can start the work in there. The first job is asbestos abatement. Personally I’d rather be out of the apartment when they start disturbing the asbestos insulation in the ceiling of the garage, but that’ll not happen. 

This is good news today. The new address is 54-174 Kawaipuna St., Hau’ula, Hawaii. Ta ta for now!
