We have had some craziness here.
Preparing to put the house up for sale
We are doing some updating on the house to make it more appealing for buyers. We are putting a new back splash and counter top in the kitchen. We are also taking our 1968 oven out of the wall and replacing it with a decorative shelf or wine rack. As for the *on the counter* stove top, we are replacing that with an oven that we have had in our garage for 2 years.
Our bathroom has had purple carpet in it since we lived here. Yes, I picked it out and I hear about the purple carpet all of the time. I know it was a poor choice but could we please put it to rest? Thank you :).
When we moved in, the inspector said that we had to keep the motor to our jacuzzi accessible. The motor was "under the floor" so what are we to do? We couldn't tile because that would close off access to the motor. We had no choice but to re-carpet (At least that is what we thought until someone came in to look at the floor and discovered there is NOTHING under the floor related to the jacuzzi). Yeah, bye bye carpet, HELLO tile (for the new people).
All and all, we ARE going to lose money on the house. We are going to list it for about a thousand dollars more than what we bought it for. Our goal at this point is that we want to sell it quick. We knew we would never make money on the house, but if we sell now, the advantage is to get a bigger house for our buck. So, that is where we are going to be saving. We want out.
I am kind of sad to start the process. One reason, it is our first home and lots of memories. Secondly, I hate spending money on things that we don't get to enjoy.
