Did I mention that I bought a Black & Decker Workmate and a 7 1/4" Skilsaw, along with a bunch of two-by-fours and an eight-foot-long countertop? These plus some screws and some metal workbench brackets will transform into a lovely workspace in the storeroom turned arts-and-crafts room, if I have anything to say about it. [...]
I just re-listed our hot tub on Craigslist. It would be really neat if someone were to buy it, so please take a moment to think about if you know anyone (including yourself) who would really like a hot tub. It’s nice…
I fixed our dryer! When Eric and Chantelle were here they used our Kenmore Elite HE4 dryer, which is the white version of what they have at home in blue. They pointed out, as we already knew, that ours was more of a clothes-spinner and less of a clothes-dryer. Both the washer and dryer are [...]
We’ve had a lot of stuff going on lately, including at least three sets of visitors from out of town (with at least one more set on the way soon). We also scored a great patio set on Craig’s List, complete with big and little glasstopped tables, eight comfy chairs, and an umbrella plus umbrella [...]

We are finally through the inspection! The buyer asked to drop the price by another $3500 to fix the problems found in the inspection and that’s it. So, we took the deal. Now, we are just waiting to close on April 18th. YAY! We are very excited. We are also looking forward to Grandparents and [...]
We have an extension on the inspection for the house so the buyer can check out the heat exchanger on her own. We had Puget Sound Energy out there on Friday and he said there was nothing wrong with the furnace. (Phew!). She is also concerned about the low water pressure. Unfortunately, everyone in that [...]
This was Zoey on Monday. She was ready for school with her hat, her bag, and her signature wink.
We have listed the bonus hot tub that came with our house for sale on craigslist. You know you want one—why not buy ours?
Yep–another offer is all counter-offered and signed by all parties, so the waiting game begins. Again. This time our buyer isn’t a first-time homeowner, so she should have some more realistic expectations regarding an almost 60-year-old house. Our agent spilled the beans about the new steel entry door I bought for the garage but haven’t [...]
