Bee discrimination!

Well, after a little research, Norm was right! He commented on my last post.  They are wood burrowing bees. I found the telltale 1/2" whole that looks like it was drilled with a wood bit! So I covered up the hole, and I haven't found any more. I'll be there this weekend to see if any have escaped. There's lots of info on the internet about these bees. Basically they are not aggressive, not real damaging to the wood (when compared to termites) and easy to get rid of. The males don't even have stingers. I think they should file a discrimination lawsuit! LOL

Hope to do some roofing this weekend, but we'll see if the weather cooperates. in the meantime, I'll be looking at two duplexes for sale in the area. They are listed on the MLS and already fall within the 50% guideline with an asking price of $49k. However, in this market I will try to get them for around 37-40k with monthly income of just over $1000. Cash offers make it a bit easier. Overall, I won't settle for a good deal, I want a GREAT deal!
