I am no longer blogging on this blog site. I don’t like the way it is set up, so I have moved over to blogspot.com. You can find me at spinster1156.blogspot.com. I don’t blog a lot, and I may be a bit boring, but come on over and sit a spell.

We moved in Nov. 1. The house was not completely done, but close enough. The kitchen cabinets were not completely finished, there was no carpet on the stairs, one of the dishwashers was not working and all the master closet organizers were not in place, BUT it was close enough to move in and deal [...]

Things are moving along so quickly and I am so busy, I can’t keep up with posting everything. The stonework and stucco have been done for a coupla weeks. Now we are working on getting the cabinets installed, putting the Trex on the deck, installing the final lighting and seeing if the electrical stuff all [...]

Wow, all of a sudden things have taken off in the home building. The first part of the process, the foundation, framing, heating and electrical seem to take FOREVER to get done, especially in our case as we had to put the house on hold for awhile while we tried to sell our other house. [...]

I knew it was going to be bad, but I had no idea how bad and I have come to the conclusion: MOVING IS HELL!! It took two weeks of non-stop packing, throwing away and making hundreds of decisions of whether to keep or toss. Judging by the amount of stuff we have [...]
Real Estate Agents

Believe it or not, I am still getting calls from RE agents because they have noticed that our house has gone off the market and they want to know if they can “help” us get it sold, properly. (Yeah, like they are the only RE agent in the world who can get the house sold.) [...]

The house has rented, we are starting to pack, we have found a house to rent and we are moving in 1 month. HALLELUJAH!!! Finally we are getting out of here.
We found a nice family to rent the house who also want the option to buy eventually. They have 4 kids and [...]

We have officially taken the house off the market. We still had about 10 days under contract, but the lending industry threw us a curve ball. Apparently your house cannot be on the market if you are trying to get a mortgage loan. I guess they are afraid that you will put them through all [...]
