Getting a house ready for sale is a nightmare, and makes me really crazy. So far I have replaced flooring. Had painters do the deck, some minor facade repair, and interior painting. Now I am looking at fixing the front porch, and it's a bit more money than I expected. Ugh. I don't want to sell a house with issues, but I also don't want to pay much more to sell the house... what to do, what to do? So far, I am just practicing being mean and difficult with the people who sell the services.
In the meanwhile, we are building another house, thankfully far enough away to not be obsessive about always being there. They are kinda nickel-and-diming us too. I mean after you've paid a sizeable non-refundable deposit. Why does a couple of minor changes mean you have to pay an additional non-refundable deposit? Are my changes so egregious that no one in their right mind would want them if the sale fell through? It's not that it is a lot of money, it is that it is getting insulting.
So anyway, my current house is starting to look dreamy and I am remembering what I love about it, though still ready to let it go. And the new house is coming along. The garages are done and plumbing is stubbed. I will put some photos below.
