For Sale
(or maybe not)
December 11, 2000

 
So, as many of you may know, we thought we were selling our house recently.  We found a property we really loved, and, despite the work we'd done in putting in our new kitchen (updates from the start, the middle, and completion), we thought we would move.  Obviously that hasn't worked out.  If I can, I'll put up some pictures of the house on Lloyd Way.  In the end, it seemed that things were working out so that we'd stay put.

The upside of moving -but not moving -is that it forces you to complete a lot of outstanding projects that might otherwise take forever to get through.  I have some pictures taken the day we went on tour, when hundreds of thousands of egar buyers came and inspected every minute detail of everything we'd done.  (OK, at least half of that sentence is true.)  We finished all the major work in a span of a few weeks.  We farmed out the big work, and did the SLIP's (Shitty Little Projects) ourselves.

First we had new gutters installed.  It was one of those projects we should have done a long time ago.  $900 well spent.  Next up, new carpet.  That was more traumatic, since we changed our minds before they even installed it.  The hardest part of the carpet was living with the house in total chaos for 3 days.  (Under our old carpet was a really gruncy adhesive from the old hardwood floor.  Yuck.)  Finally, they painted inside and out.  All up, well worth the effort.  Some pictures of the finished house...
