Three days of glory!
We hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing Memorial Day weekend. We did around our house for sure, and that explains why this post is a day late.
Our weekend began with a little more preparation of the listing coming up. While Nancy worked in the garden, I was at the computer Freecycling more goodies to the public. All is just about gone with the exception of a couple closet and hollow core doors. Where theses doors came from is anyone’s guess because they surely didn’t come with the house. My neighbor was an antiques dealer 
and I think she may have used these doors as table tops on some of her tours of years ago. If you’re thinking I Freecycled the antiques, I didn’t. The more expensive items were sent to her San Francisco Antiques Collective, while some made its way to Harvey Clars . She was not a small dealer either, she reached a point where homeowners insurance was not an option including a quote from Lloyd’s of London. She chose burglar and fire alarms as an option.
With that the painters are back and the flooring contractor is scheduled for Friday. We have used Bay Area Contract Carpet for just about all of our needs, they’re competitive, efficient and fast and they do great work the first time, so if you need any type of carpet or flooring our suggestion is call them first, just let them know you got their information from Chuck and Nancy Bianchi. Call them second if you prefer to waste your time with another appointment.
Saturday I waxed both of our vehicles and was alerted to a fireworks show at the Oakland Coliseum after the A’s game. Not having 
watched or listened to the game before heading to our favorite spot to see the shows in the past I found dark sky over the coliseum. Apparently just prior to what looked like the end of the game it went into extra innings, so I sat for ten minutes, waiting and then finally left.
Saturday night Nancy baked her new favorite dessert a Kahlua infused chocolate cake to bring to my brothers house on Sunday for dessert.
Monday was just one of those lazy relaxing days, finally the skies turned blue after being gray both Saturday and Sunday. We finished the holiday with barbecued Chicken and Beef shish kabobs and corn on the cob.
Which brings us to the Tuesday Brokers Tour this morning, better late than ever. It’s a small tour today with only six homes to see. They include a duet, condominium, townhouse and three single family homes. They’re all on the main island except for the (IMHO) overpriced townhome in Bay Farm here. Today’s range is from $395,000 too $869,000.

Ciao for now, Chuck
