Some pictures of the new and improved Century Lanes in Alta Iowa. 
I recently did an equipment inspection of Dale Davis's home lanes and its 4 new lanes so I figured I would share them with the world.
A little about Alta: Alta, Iowa is a small community, just 4 miles west of Storm Lake, it is a close knit community where everyone looks out for each other. Unlike the bigger areas out real estate market is still going strong. Kids can play outside safely and long walks hold only the threat of a sunburn. Alta is my home, and if I had known there was a place like Alta I would have raised my boys here. This is a place where people still worship in God's house on Sunday, and God's house is the place where the Word of God comes alive through all the inspired words of the Bible.
Alta, Iowa has become famous over night; the reason is 79 year old Dale Davis. Dale is blind, but man he can bowl, he bowled the first perfect game Century Lanes has ever seen - but I don't think it will be the last. Dale bowls at Century Lanes located on Main Street in Alta. Dale is a slight man, a veteran and he is legally blind. His nickname is "The Hammer" and he spends his time with his sister Thelma and his little dog.
Clem LeDoux, the owner of Century Lanes, is expanding and adding 4 more lanes and Dale has a new pair of bowling shoes he plans on try out as soon as the work is done. That work should be completed this weekend, Dale will most assuredly be one of the first bowlers to try the new lanes out.
Stay tuned for pictures of the new and improved Century Lanes Bowling Alley and Dale Davis, Alta Iowa's blind bowler.
Interested in learning about how a foreclosure works and want to see a foreclosure auction? Well if you live in Storm Lake or Alta this one might fit the bill. The address of the property is:
Location of Property: 501 BUENA VISTA STREET ALTA IOWA 51002
The described property will be offered for sale at public auction for cash only as follows:
Date of Sale 11/04/2008 Time of Sale 10:00
Place of Sale BUENA VISTA COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE
411 EXPANSION BLVD STORM LAKE IA
This one will probably go to the bank that has the mortgage, that bank is the First National Bank of Omaha. The cost of this property (in my opinion as a Realtor) is significantly higher than it could sell for on the local market.
Judgment Amount Accrued Costs Costs Interest Sheriff's Fee's
$138,260.75 PLUS $2,881.51 $10,212.86
Check it out if this is something you have thought about doing, it is an interesting process and the personnel in the sheriffs department are very helpful.
All remodelers and everyone who has had wood flooring put in:
If you read my blog, you know we sold our home in a Alta Iowa (4 miles west of Storm Lake) and bought an acreage, the main floor of the existing home will be completely gutted and redone. We are planning to put in hand scraped hardwood floors - probably 5 inch solid planks. If anyone has experience with this type of flooring please let me know if you like it, if you think one product is better than another. We have narrowed it down to products from Anderson and Homerwood.
Thank you
Robotic floor sweepers, vacumers and moppers (is that a word?), now a robotic lawn mower. I love the idea, we have 4.3 acres and I hate to mow. I emailed Husqvarna and asked if they made an industrial size robotic mower, I haven't heard back yet. I am ever hopeful!
Next it would be nice if someone would develop a robotic dog walker/runner, I have a 4lb chihuahua named Spike and we live in Iowa. He is a racing Chihuahua, so he likes to go really fast, I don't keep up too well but maybe a robot dog walker ....... who knows what will come out next.
Check out the link to a video on this cool new mower
