Working In The House

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 58 degrees, high 80 degrees, light breezes, partly cloudy

While working at Terri's house today, a car drove up with two couples in it. One of the couples was neighbors, while the other couple was friends who had heard that Terri's house was going to be placed on the market and wanted to see the house. Unfortunately, the house is not ready to show. We estimate it will take another 5-7 days before we will be comfortable letting prospective buyers see it. The couple that is interested asked us to let them know when they could look at the house, and are interested in seeing it before we have any Realtors out. So, there is some interest out there. We will see if that interest holds up when the time comes for tours and negotiations. In the meantime, it is encouraging to have some interest out there.

We started inside the house today. The third bedroom, bathroom, and closet were gone through with a fine tooth comb. We touched up the paint, cleaned and dusted where needed, and shampooed the carpet. It really looks good in those areas. Tomorrow, we will do another bathroom, closet, linen closet, bedroom, and hall. That will complete about one-third of the house.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

When I got tired of working inside the house, I repaired some vinyl trim around the garage door opening. After that, I mowed most of the yard. I'll finish the yard tomorrow.

It never ends.

Just think, if we were not helping Terri, we would be in Montana by now, and getting ready to go into Canada. Oh, well, next year.

This is not a complaint about helping Terri. We do not regret what we are doing. She needs our assistance at this time, and we will do whatever we have to do to help her.

More later, be safe.
