No more showings...

The house is essentially off the real estate market. I talked to Jeff today and I asked him to stop the showings on the house. Technically, the place is still listed until September 8th or so, but people will not be able to see the house anymore. Although I could be very disappointed, I am optimistic about the resale value of the place as I received a couple of generous offers without having done any improvements to the home.

I am going to move in for sure September 1st. I am on the hunt for the right roomates, but I am confident that that won't be a problem.

By taking the house off the market, I am essentially going to hold it for at least another year to allow for home improvements to be completed.

Runs for high, Runs against Lowe

Last night in the nightcap, Exit Realty was able to defeat Stan's Diner Draughts 4-0 after some outstanding pitching from ace Will Lowe. Lowe has been great this year despite the lack of wins in the BMFL. A statistical anamoly, Will has been able to dominate against some of the best hitters the BMFL has to offer. He is the Roy Halladay of the BMFL. He does not get the run support when needed most.

Last night appeared to be one of those nights for Will. He had pitched his way into the 6th inning with Exit only up by a score of 1-0. With 3 more runs in the bottom of the sixth, Exit was able to provide Will with the insurance he needed to get the win. Will's composure has been a lot better this year. Although Will is handicapped, he is a physical force that can dominate.

With 2 outs in the bottom of the sixth, Exit's rookie Scott Cassidy provided a very, very clutch single that was able to score 2 runners. Scott may still be trying to settle in at the plate, but he comes through when needed the most.

Exit Realty will be busy this week. They have multiple rain-outs that they must make up before the playoffs start. They are hoping that they will have a shot at second place with a string of wins.

The search continues...

I'm still looking for people to co-habitate with. I've posted my place on facebook and the Carleton housing website to help with the search. Although I've received some interest, people have not committed to renting the place. In fact, I've only shown the place to one person so far. That being said, I do have one renter, so I am batting 1.000 on that one.
