I’ve been absorbed with the possible sale of our house.\u00a0 The same man who wanted to buy it last year has tied us up with a contract again this year.\u00a0\u00a0 If he does not come through and purchase the house this year, he won’t get a chance the next time it goes on the market!<\/p>\n
We are supposed to have a closing date of July 31st, but the buyer just requested his second extension to find the funding he needs.\u00a0 He has until July 17th now, but if he doesn’t succeed, we will have to cancel the appointment with the movers.\u00a0 If we do that, I’ll be canceling the contract, and opting to see if there is anyone else who will be interested.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, we have packed boxes every day, filling a 16′ POD with things we don’t need daily.\u00a0 Books, china, kitchen things, linens – things that can be stored in a non-climate controlled situation, have all been boxed.\u00a0 Now our house looks rather like a normal house, with the exception of the living room, which has very little furniture left.\u00a0 We gave away the two couches!\u00a0 (It was either that, or burn them!)<\/p>\n
We have made electrical repairs, had radon testing, had the exterminator come through, and are waiting for a visit from a roofer to replace a rubber gasket and the top 8 inches or so of the shingles, which were damaged by hail.\u00a0 We’ve replaced the garage door openers with ones which have an optical safety control.\u00a0 We’ve had the furnaces tested, and the landscaper is coming to shape up the gardens.\u00a0 Whew!\u00a0 If the house doesn’t sell, it will be a very safe, very tidy place to live! lol<\/p>\n
My niece is here for a week to help us pack.\u00a0 I’m delighted to have the help.\u00a0 It gives me a chance to talk with her, and find out what’s going on in her life, and get more packed.\u00a0 That’s a win-win situation.<\/p>\n
Wish us luck.\u00a0 Think positive thoughts for the sale of the house.\u00a0 Pray, if you are so inclined.\u00a0 We will accept any and all help to move us through this sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
