The house has now been sold and we have 2 weeks of intense work left to get out. Everything is going into storage, then we will have another big project when we get it back out. <br /><br />We did clean and organize and declutter like maniacs to get it ready to list. The house was extremely sparse and clean when the photographs were taken. We didn't stage anything, but have had to fix or change a few things as the sale went through. <br /><br />We just found we have one more fix to do. Of all things, the appraiser didn't pass the fence. It has some paint peeling and chipping off and the buyers won't get their loan if we don't strip and paint that fence. So, you never know. Save some money for the end. We have had a few things like this come up.<br /><br />Sounds like you are making great progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615566302085141880.post-84117803439211479612016-05-06T06:49:12.510-04:002016-05-06T06:49:12.510-04:00Thanks!

Since living in Oregon I've gone almost totally digital for books. No more packing and moving books for us.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
