Making the Grade

Progress is being made in getting our home ready for market.  Much to our surprise we were ahead of schedule.

Three bedrooms now have fresh paint, new carpets and major reduction in clutter and furniture.  The staging has begun. Neutral colors and carpet, no pictures or personal items so the buyer can picture themselves being in our home.

Funny, twenty seven years ago, my husband and I walked into this house and it was, as my mom described it, “A total disaster”.  She thought I was crazy being six months pregnant and tackling this renovation on a home she would have turned and walked out the same door she entered.

We didn’t see what the house was but what the house would become.  We had vision and the vision was brought to fruition.  We did most of the work ourselves as funds allowed.  I washed and waxed concrete floors for three years. Crazy, but, the kids had a ball scooting around on their big wheels without being yelled at.  Now, my mom agrees it was worth the effort.

Recognizing most people aren’t like that, we are doing all this work so we can get top dollar for our home and RV for a longer period of time.  Only time will tell if our efforts will be rewarded. For now, we are excited to see only green cells (on time) on the project plan and getting closer to our goal.
