This coming weekend we're going to start painting and prepping the house for sale. Even if it turns out that we're not going to sell, it's important for us anyway to keep our house up to date.. less work in the future when we do need to sell.
Our current plans include:
- Painting our bedroom ceiling
- Re-cutting the 1st/2nd Floor (which means cutting into the trim, the tool I used last time didn't make the paint as dark as the roller made the walls)
- Complete the paint in the stairwell that I couldn't reach
- Paint the entire 3rd floor white including the hallway
- Paint the 3rd floor hallway/stairwell floor (it's currently red with paint spots all over it)
- Measure and buy quarter rounds for entire 2nd and 3rd floors and install
- Clean the house from top to bottom and pack/store un-needed items
- Fix the ice maker in the freezer (it was leaking before)
- Maybe paint the gutters
- Power wash the porch
- Switch Washer/Dryer with Martin Dr.? (if we move there we want to take our washer dryer for its EE and swap it out with the one we'd be getting anyway.... if possible of course)
We hope to get the painting and quarter rounds done this weekend.. then throughout next week we can clean/pack/store.
If we were selling.. which we don't know yet. I'd like to get it on the market for Labor Day weekend but as of this moment, I don't see that happening. The key for us is we should aim to close by Nov 31st when the Home Buyer stimulus runs out. That leaves 2 months to sell and 1 month to close if we put it on the market in early September. Fingers crossed that we'll know something soon.. can't rush the people though.
