The latest numbers from www.ala-ca.org indicate the lake is fast approaching full. We've had some really exciting thunderstorms that are uncharactaristic for this time of year. It's fun for us to have the occasional storm, but I would have liked to see more rain out of it. Memorial Day was so warm on the lake, now it feels like we're back to winter! The forecast says it's going to warm up, I'm sure it's just a matter of time. In the meantime, I'll just cross my fingers that we get the lake full.

Full Lake Level is 5106.70 ft (elevation from sea level).

Holly's Report

FIRE! And the clean up, oh my!

What a mess! I feel bad that I am the bank's only liason in the area for this property. What a lot of work I have ahead of me. I have to file reports, take pictures, get demo bids and talk with fire investigators. I can't believe all of this is my responsibilty as a real estate agent representing the listing of this property! Have any of you had experience with this? From what I gather, after I do all of this and insurance has all of the info they need, I will get the lot listing. The lot listing isn't that great because there is a building moritorium in this particular neighborhood.

The fire dept. doesn't think it was the previous owners of this home because it was just a victim of the neighboring house which burned to the ground.

I am not opposed to doing the work, and it is an interesting experience, I feel I am learning a lot and can more closely sympathize with other people who have lost their homes and what they have to go through in the aftermath. But, wow, what a lengthy process. I am surprised that this is how the bank handles this sort of thing, throught the Realtor. Because of my lack of experience with burned down houses, I am surprised that I am the best person for the job.

I did have another one of my REO's vandalized and flooded, so I am certainly getting a colorful education at this point of my career.

Weekly Lake Level and Temp

The lake may be down a little, but with the decreasing temp. there are less boaters on the lake and therefore less evaporation. I really would like to get out there a few more times this year. My daughter just learned to ski and it's such a joy to watch! We have had a few days that attempted to rain, so maybe winter will bring overflowing lake levels this year - we'll just have to see! Stay tuned...
