Preparing to sell the house
It was hard working up the energy last fall to clean the house, touch up paint, hire lawn scapers, and do everything else necessary to get ready to put the house on the market. I can tell you, it is so much harder the second time around. The house goes on the market next Sunday and I could not have less energy to put towards getting it ready. Today I cleaned up most of the basement and took some stuff over to George’s to store during the showing. Over the next week, I will slowly get a few things done here and there…and then I’m sure I’ll be up all night on Friday trying to get holes patched, doors hung, roofs replaced…all the while wofting that fresh-baked bread smell through the main level.
If things work out right, we’ll be in Colorado by July. Right now we are planning to stay with Nat’s friends in Colorado Springs this summer while we further explore our possibilities. The top choices right now are ’somewhere’ in Colorado, Sun Valley Idaho, Portland Oregon and Spearfish South Dakota (Nat’s idea). There may be a place or two that we’ve considered that I’ve not listed, but will later find myself considering again.
The main goal is to get somewhere with ski mountains, valley lakes, trails and roads for biking, and hopefully a tiny downtown with a bar, coffee shop, and place to buy Playstation 2 games when the new Winning Eleven comes out next year.
