Full Calendar

This will be a very busy week - painters, carpet cleaners, pool maintenance people, dryer vent wizard.  We're on the downhill slope to listing the house and we're working to get things nice and orderly.

The bathtub fitters company came out and gave us an estimate to recover the bathtub.  $1800+.  That's another project for tomorrow's list - I'm going to use some super scrubbing paste to give it a good scrub and then we'll see where we're at - we're not going to spend money on fixing it at this point. 

The pool needs $4000+ in repairs and we've decided that's the highest priority to fix.  The other things - like the tub - are cosmetic and we're not going to put a ton of money in those little things.  Like J. said 'the pool heater and light aren't working - so we need to get those repaired'.  Scratches on a tub - not that big of a thing because the tub still 'works'. 

I had a great few days in Reno earlier this week and will possibly return again on Friday for a few days.  I'm going to work my heart out Monday through Thursday around the homestead and see where I am on Wednesday evening - might cancel (before midnight) or decide to go.  We'll see.  There's much to do at home so leaning towards staying home.  We'll see. 

We've got reservations about every two weeks from now through August and I'll add September as I get offers.  When we go mid-August, we'll do the lighting appointment to select lights throughout the house - and hopefully we'll also rent another storage unit. 

We plan to get the house listed the first week of August and we'll see how it goes.  Still hopeful it will sell quickly and once we have accepted an offer and are in escrow, it will be easier to start making plans for temp housing in Reno/Carson City area.

I spent time outside today - in the pool twice.  Scrubbed the tile and then worked on cleaning the chaise lounges.  With cushions and/or towels, they are perfectly fine but the vinyl straps are permanently discolored and I can't get them clean no matter what I try. 

Packing continues - china hutch almost completely packed.  The boxes of china, etc. will be the next load up to our new storage unit. 

We're keeping very busy and working hard to make daily progress.
