I’m not real happy with the realtor’s numbers so I called Trelora.  They charge a flat fee for their work, not a commission so I could save a bit of money.  They think I can sell the house for $275,000.  That’s better.  I’m skeptical that buyer’s real estate agents will want to show the house since Trelora is known for offering a low commission to the buyer agent.  However, everyone I’ve talked to at Trelora is upbeat and easy to talk to.  I think I’d like working with them.  They said they could list it quickly even though it’s a bit cluttered right now and they could easily work around my roommate’s schedule.

That was a fun weekend.  I’m out of shape and got my butt (well my lungs and heart really) kicked on the “easy” mountain bike run we did.  I got to see Mike race on today which made me happy as I’ve never seen him race.

I did my Emergency First Responder class tonight.  It’s similar to the Red Cross First Aid and CPR classes.  I have to take that before I can do the Rescue Diver course.

Now off to a weekend in Grand County with Mike and Lisa!  I’m looking forward to mountain biking and hanging out with them.  I’m also looking forward to spending some time with Colorado Mother Nature as I will miss the Colorado mountains when I leave.

There is a company in Bali that I am quite impressed with.  They make houses and furniture out of bamboo and are trying to teach people about the sustainability of bamboo.  They are affiliated with a school, a hotel, and a kids camp also.  I researched all the companies and think I would love to work for any of them.  I sent my resume and a letter to Ibuku, Bambu Indah, Green Camp, Green Village, and Green School today.  I feel really drawn to this group of companies.  It would be great to work with them in some way.  I got a standard response that Green Camp receives a lot of applications and they will get back to me.

The realtor I was thinking of using to sell the house said she’s list it for $265,000 with the hopes of selling it for $250,000.  I’m not quite sure what number I was hoping for, but this was not it.  I think I’ll look for another realtor.

Diving

I might want to work as a divemaster.  Maybe, I should be ready for that.  I did a little research.  You have to have your advanced certification, then you can get your rescue diver certification and then divemaster.  Well, I have the advanced certification so today I signed up for my rescue diver certification.  It will be too much to do the divemaster certification here, but this should set me up for it.  Plus, it’s not a bad skill set to have!

I watched a bunch of videos about unlocking cars.  It looks pretty easy.  This is going to be a fun way to volunteer at Burning Man.  It’s also kind of eye opening how easy it is to break into a car if you have the right tools.

I got word back from GSC that all the positions I applied for were filled already.  Ooops sorry, we didn’t contact you?

Someone posted on Next Door Floyd Hill that they are looking for a new house to rent in the fall.   I contacted them.  It doesn’t hurt to make some contacts in case.

I sent emails to all the companies (5 different companies) that I applied for Antarctica jobs to see if I could get a status update since none of them have responded – not even “no”.

Still don’t know where I’m going if Antarctica doesn’t happen.  I feel stuck on making a new plan because I’m waiting for Antarctica.
