Finally Done

I haven't posted in a little while due to all of the finishing up we've been doing on the house. The house is finally finished!! I'm so relieved to have this done. I put up our “For Sale” sign last Wednesday. I also put out flyers and created a site with new pictures, check it out: www.407turnberryway.com. So far, over 25 flyers have gone out but no calls just yet. We had an open house last Sunday that went well. We’re having another open house this Sunday and it’s a lot more advertised so hopefully we’ll get some more feedback. I’m ready to sell this house and buy another one!

I definitely enjoy this business. I think this is what I was meant to do. More on that later!

The end is near

The house is coming along nicely. We had the roof professionally cleaned on Friday. Here's a new picture of the house. The shutters are off and in the process of being painting but the bushes are trimmed and the roof is clean!! We had an electrician come out and install vanity lighting in all of the bathrooms along with pendant lighting over the breakfast bar. A tile lady came to the house today and started the countertops. We're doing ceramic tile on those. She should be done Saturday. We had to push the carpet back to this coming Monday. I might push it back again...it depends on how far we get tomorrow night. I don't want to chance spilling paint or grout on the new carpet. We have nearly all of the painting done. Three of the bathrooms remain and one is only a half bath. Yay! We've got a friend coming by Saturday to look at finishing our laundry room. Only half of it is finished. We'd like to advertise a 100% finished basement when we sell, so this should help our resale...hopefully.

We're over our timeline but I guess that's okay. We're shooting for the 15th now. My fiance tells me that was the original date and somehow I bumped it up to the 1st. We're going to have an open house around that time. Hope we get a good turnout. We are undecided about going with a realtor. I think we are going to try to sell it and if we don't get any bites, we'll call the pros.
