Well the time has come for us to start fixing up our house and getting it ready to sell. It has been fungicided and treated for the mold. We have had the carpet ripped out and replaced, some walls ripped out and replaced with new plasterboard and I'm told it looks and smells brand new. The mold remediation company we used are confident that it is ready for a new family to buy and make it a home **.
But we still have so much to do to before it goes on the market. Since I'm unable to go into the house, my jobs are outside. I've been...
Painting the fence & the deck
Putting in new beautiful plants & mulching the garden
I also get the great job (and I use those terms very loosely) of co-ordinating all the tradesmen quoting and coming in to fix the place. Some have been brilliant and some not so brilliant shall we say.
Although I know your situation is unusual, due to the health considerations, but it never fails to surprise me how often we put off doing work on our houses until the month before we are going to sell.
ReplyDeleteIt seems it's so hard to justify indulging ourselves by spending the money to do these jobs so we just live with them. The thing is that the amount of people who have expressed that they probably wouldn't have sold if they had done the work earlier makes me think for many of us it's false economy. One thing moving isn't is cheap.
Kind Regards

Hi Belinda,
ReplyDeleteI couldnt agree more.
I've actually made changes to sell especially to the garden based on real estate agent's recommendations. I like a big mish mash garden of colour, and she recommended trimming it back and making it more streamlined. More styled *roll eyes*
Good luck with it all...
