Awake 5:55 am Temp Downtown=51 Partly sunny
Today the FSBO assistance inspector is scheduled for a walk thru of our
home at 11:00 am. She will then tell us if the house is ready to go on the
market for sale or not. We will have questions.
The lower level of the house has been inspection ready since Friday...the
upper level will be ready this morning before 11:00 am so says Ms
Whirlwind Super Cleaner.
You see, I understand how this magic works now...I've seen it happen
before. Nearly everytime we have guests....it's the Ms Whirlwind Super
Cleaner in action. Usually during these energetic, frantic & bustling
outbursts, I find solice in a quiet far away room somewhere in the house
...seeking shelter to wait out the storm so to speak. This morning
however, the expression: " you can run but you can not hide " comes to
mind. Ms Whirlwind had me taking boxes & bags to our temporary mini
storage facility(the 184 Ford Van) & the overflow area of my lower
garage...for quite awhile. Many trips, many bags & boxes of the " stuff "
that might be the least bit offensive to the eyes of the invited guests or
the FSBO assistance inspector are now well hidden.
So now you too know the magic formula for a well kept home in 2 hrs or
less: Hide the clutter 1st, 2nd hide the clutter and 3rd, hide the
clutter. Hey, it works for us!
Stacey arrives promptly @ 11:00 am. She is young, confident, experienced &
has her act together. One thing might have thrown her routine inspection
off a bit was the view we have from our house of the city, the Inlet,
Alaska Range, Chugach Mountains, Etc. She seemed mesmerized for awhile. I
just knew those clean windows had everything to do with it. Anyway, she
scrutinized most of the house but she apparently knew what to look for
without looking in every little knook & cranny & we passed with flying
colors. She had conpiled a list of recent comparable home sales in our
area to get a ballpark figure for us to use. So on Thursday this week, our
home will officially be: " For Sale by Owner."
After Stacey leaves...it's back to work for us. It's the little things.
Kathy trims more grass from the sidewalk. I scrape, scratch, brush & prime
a few window frames that can use a little more tender loving care. We
finish for the day at & 7:30 pm.
Call Nick in Seattle. He's a tired & a busy fellow. We enjoy talking with
him always.
9:15 pm Dinner: Leftover " T " bone steak with broccoli & salad.
A little late night reading.. Lights out: 12:10 am
