She Likes It! She Likes It!

What a relief. Kim really seems to like the house. (In case you didn’t know, it was I who picked it out, and last evening was the first time she saw anything more than pictures of the place).

Turns out it’s not as pink as it showed up in pictures. Kim was expecting “bazooka” pink, but it’s much more subdued than that and she says she’s OK with the color as it is. The house is currently in a state of repair. The interior is being completely repainted, all the carpeting in being replaced, and one of the bathrooms is being renovated (it’s gutted at the moment). We don’t expect to move in before the end of the month and the landlord thinks the work will be complete by that time.

I think I’ll like the landlord. He seems about as picky as I.

Only one photo op during our tour since it was starting to get dark and I didn’t want to take any more time.

And, some more factoids about Bermuda that I found interesting:

Population 62,000 (previously mentioned)
Gender ratio 52% female
Bermuda-born 71%
Total workforce 37,700, of which 72% (27,100) are Bermudians and 28% (10,600) are expats
Average hours worked per week 33
Unemployment 2.6%

I think you guys should build a tiki bar in the backyard fully stocked with a variety of Bacardi products.
