Let me give you the short version. Last summer we decided to get the house ready to sell. We had already put in a new tankless water heater and new Rinnai boiler that also hangs on the wall, very state of the art. We had the landscaping redone and steps to the backyard rebuilt.
When all the work was finished, we finally put up the house for sale in August 2014 just before Labor Day. Not a good time and the only potential buyer was turned off by the smell of smoke, so we took it off the market for the winter.
I had my left hip replaced on March 17 2015 and told my family to destroy any ashtrays and cigarettes, so I have been smoke free since. Think of the money I've saved, my health restored, and the house smelling fresh and smoke-free! But it's ironic that the buyers both smoke.
We have also shipped 25 boxes to my brother in Florida which will get when we have a home. We'll go shopping when we get there to find a Class A RV for our home for the next few years.
After the picker came and took away all the books and much more...
Empty spaces, everything gone.
Mementos are now in storage...
an empty house symbolized by an empty closet. |
The car is packed for the trip to Florida. Can you see one of the dogs in the picture? Don't worry, they had plenty of room on their plush dog beds behind the front seats and the cat ran free.
And.....off we go to greet our future!
