Project

Have you ever had one of those looming projects or reports? It was something so huge and daunting that you didn't even know where to begin. We have been working to get our house ready to put on the market. It wasn't that the house was in bad shape, it was that I had started so many smaller projects and had not completed them. So, I had to finish installing the wood floors, finish tiling the counter tops in the kitchen, cut and install the new baseboards, etc. So, it took us a while to even begin the list of "normal" things that had to be tackled ... painting, cleaning, painting, cleaning ...

Yesterday was the day! The papers were signed and the sign went up in the yard. The tour of agents go through the house today. Since this is our first house that we have owned, I must admit it was a little depressing seeing the sign go in the yard. Yes, it was a celebration that we had reached a level of completeness with our projects so that the house could be shown. But, we have had some wonderful experiences in this home. The kids have played pirate on the backyard swing set (aka The Pearl) and they have played pirate in their bedrooms (the beds were the pirate ships) and they have played pirate in the den (the coach) ... We have watched as our blood, sweat, and tears have gone into updating the various rooms. Okay, that's enough of that! We're praying it sells fast and for asking!!!

BIT: As I turned into our subdivision and saw the three signs (not only did it remind me of the Trinity, which I know is weird) but I got a great idea for a reality TV show. The house across the street is for sale, the house next door to us is for sale, and our house is for sale. All by different real estate companies. Wouldn't it be neat to watch a show where the realtors are all competing to sale their house first? I'll have to pitch this to one of the networks. "Real Estate Battles"
