The Measurement Is In For The Flooring, But It Comes With Complications!

It seems nothing goes as it should for me these days! The floor in the master bathroom has some minor water damage. The measurer had to send pictures to the installers to determine if additional work needs to be done. It doesn't appear to be significant. I told my person at the flooring company that...

It's Starting To Heat Up In My Valley! Triple Digits Are Not Far Away!

Today could reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit! The forecast says 97 but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes higher as it usually does! It's a bit early for triple digits but nothing surprises me with the weather of late! I took the day off from cleaning! It has been non stop since I started cleaning my... Sign in to see full entry.

No Drama With My House Today; Weekends Are Wonderful These Days!

The measurer came today and finished the job fairly quickly! At times I wonder if folks listen to me when I place my orders! I asked for laminate to be measured in the hallway. One reason was the garage entry comes through the laundry room to the hallway. I noticed that the area got rather messy... Sign in to see full entry.

And Another Twist In The House Fiasco! It Never Seems To End!

This morning I was cleaning the patio when a gentleman came to the gate! He asked if I was living there and I told him I was. He said the bank had asked him to come by and check on the place. He had done that previously and told them this morning that the house looked like it was occupied. The bank... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Very Impressed With My House To Be!

I have been cleaning at the house I have been trying to close on all these months! It's amazing what one finds when they take a closer look! As I was cleaning the sink in the kitchen I discovered a water filtration system that is top of the line. And the water comes out so cold, too! LOL! The... Sign in to see full entry.

My Next Project Is My New House! Some Fun Coming Up!

I managed to get my rental cleaned two hours before the scheduled check out inspection. It really looked nice, just the way I had envisioned it! The final inspection went along rather well but the property management company did get a bit picky. I had my check in list of what was wrong and missing.... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Nice Update!

I got the utilities in my name today. Then I asked my agent to pass the word along to the seller's agent! She asked if she could give my number to him to set up a time to meet to give me keys and the garage door opener. The seller's agent called but I had my phone on the charger so I missed it! I...

And The Beat Goes On, Not As I Would Like, But That's Life At Times!

It has been an eventful weekend! My Agent could not, according to her, get an answer from the sellers regarding renting the house until it closed. I ask 3 times for his number so I could ask him personally but she would not give it to me! She kept saying she would contact him. However when I would... Sign in to see full entry.

Much To My Chagrin I Did Not Close On My House Today! MISERABLE!

It had been evident for several days that the closing would not happen on the 24th. My Agent had held out hope (or that damn word from her again) that it could close before the end of the month! I had talked with the title company and I knew that there would not be enough time, even by the end of... Sign in to see full entry.
