Our house if finally up for sale...

after about a weeks worth of solid work and 51 items either crossed off, amalgamated or abandoned from my to-do list we finally had the real estate agent take photos of our house today. It will be officially on the market tomorrow but we won't start showing until sat so i can get a few last things done.

fixing up the house was an arduous journey that brought about some revelations.

1. i dislike doing home improvements/renos.. but i'm too particular not to change things and too cheap to hire someone.
2. i'm more of a pack-rat then i thought (post to follow shortly).
3. NEVER buy anything that you are not going to use right away. because you'll either forget you had it and then buy it again .. and again.. or you won't get around to using it .. and when you do it's gone bad/animal chewed on it/rotted/etc
   
4. selling a house is a headache.
5. our house has never been cleaner and more complete (in terms of fixing things/odd jobs) then it is now that we are going to sell it. why? ..things that i was meaning to fix.. 10 years ago when we first moved in here.. are fixed now. tsk tsk.

(this is AFTER the garage was cleaned a bit)

i'm a bit OCD so the process of getting ready to list may have taken a tad longer then necessary. it's been such a stretched-out journey that even though the 'fix-up & finish all the half-done jobs' are done.. for some reason i feel like i forgot something...

i'm sure we'll sell in a week for top dollar and won't have to think about it any more... meanwhile i can get my unicorn washed and we'll all go on a trip to the far side of the rainbow for a little R&R with the easter bunny. .... i love the easter bunny.

updates of significance will commence..
