Darling when have I NOT been wound up about the house? I agree, I'm probably more "excited" (not wound) than normal, but the stakes are high now. It's not just about having a nice, cleam home, it's about selling a nice, clean home. <BR/><BR/>This is TN and thus we must act accordingly. In CA most houses will sell - and above the asking price. In TN that's just not the case. Thus I am eager and excited to get this place sold so we can get out of Dodge dude!<BR/><BR/>Also, TL you have done an outstanding job at the various DIY projects around the home. I know your level of excitement and energy for such things does not compare to mine. However, you still have done a super job handling the power tools, measuring twice and cutting once, etc. I'm very proud of you. I know you'd rather play on the computer than hang a chair rail. I know you'd rather drink a beer than lay quarter round. But all the same, you've been really great about taking it all in stride. <BR/><BR/>It'll be worth it when we're in CA hanging out with friends... eating REAL Mexican food... enjoying fresh sushi... shopping at Trader Joes... and wine tasting in Los Olivos!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331333749401352522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-1145372456887206102006-04-18T08:00:00.000-07:002006-04-18T08:00:00.000-07:00The realtor said the house was fine and that we di...The realtor said the house was fine and that we didn't need to do anything - except that which we had said we were going to complete that weekend: the laminate floor and the chair rail and the screen door - which is still needs to be done. It just took us a bit longer than we expected, but now that it's over it was very much worth it. At least I think so. TL will probably just agree so that I don't start cleaning again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-1145372235774811192006-04-18T07:57:00.000-07:002006-04-18T07:57:00.000-07:00Ms. Spungen and Salsola, We're interested in seein...Ms. Spungen and Salsola, <BR/>We're interested in seeing YOU not your house cleaning abilities.
