The Oak Harbor House was built during the summer of 2000 by a friend of mine named Richard. Too, he enlisted me to help him in the construction and together we did most all of the tasks, after the foundation, frame and roof had been complete, or what is commonly called by the home building industry, under roof. After we finished building it and there is a date in the concrete of 25 October 2000, but this was before the garage was built. Richard then moved his mother, Patria into the home and she has been living there every since.

However, when we finished the building of the home, that was not the end of my work, as it turned out that each couple of years, Richard has asked me to return here to do some kind of maintenance, repair and upkeep on this home.

Much later, when his mother had become unable to live by herself, the calls continued but the type of work Richard asked me to do now was to get the home ready for a future sale.

The first request for work was in 2020, which was for me to clean up the home, remove all of the trash and/or debris and to remodel the landscaping.

Richard then arrived in the spring of 2022, loaded up his mother and much of her personal belongings and then moved her to a new home in Oceanside, California, a home which I call the Hummingbird House, and a home which was located in the same mobile home park as he and Kim were living in.

This year, Richard asked me to return to the Oak Harbor House, clean it up, have a garage sale for all of the excess items and get the home ready to sell.
