The end is near…
How is everyone??? We’re truckin’ along here. Jack’s on-call this week and it hasn’t been nice to him. Thankfully with another guy in the rotation he only has to do this every eight weeks.
We got the old house painted and the carpets cleaned. It looks like a totally different house! Having the carpets professionally cleaned was amazing. I didn’t think it would come that clean! It looks almost brand new again. There are a few stains here and there still that will never come out. I asked the carpet cleaner dude why we could never get it that clean after the many attempts at renting carpet cleaners, and even buying our own steam cleaner. He said those things actually make the carpet worse because they push the dirt further into the carpet which means it comes back out eventually. Makes sense.
The paint choice was “Latte” as stronly suggested by our realtor. I’m not thrilled with it in the living room. But it looks good everywhere else. It’s an odd color. It’s a grey’ish brown that looks almost purple in some light. Very strange. But it covered the messy cheap white that was there originally and it gave the house a much-needed face lift.
Today we’re going to get the last of our stuff. We have the wood shed and all the firewood, and some stuff in the garage. We have some last minute cleaning and fixing up to do then it will go on the market monday.
Wish us luck!
Speaking of luck…
