Getting there...


Israel's room has drawers with knobs ( ignore the missing knob in the picture- its there now) and

a completed built in bunk.

The bathroom just needs a door. The plumber is coming Friday to install the toilet and sink ( to save time)


Flooring in the landing has been completed ( its the light bamboo in the bottom of the picture) and started ( Beech) in Israel's room.
Mike hopes to get most of the last major stuff done this weekend. And next weekend be completely done.
We have been in touch with our real estate agent and hope to list the house next week. We have a better chance of selling it before April 30th since that is when the tax refund for home buyers expires. Meanwhile we continue to pack boxes and declutter ( in hopes of having a better chance at selling). Mike's brother and sister in law have kindly let us store a bunch of stuff in their basement while we declutter. And so we ( as severely sleep deprived as we are) embark on our most stressful adventure yet-- selling, buying (hopefully) , moving, cleaning, packing etc with 2 young kids in tow. YIKES!!!!

We moved when Jamie was 3 and Clare 1. It was tough! If your house sells and you need any help with childcare during those fun days of packing, please use me! (Or a place to go when potential buyers are coming in.) We rented a storage unit for two months (one more before closing and one month after - and most places have a get the first month free deal, too) so we didn't have to move everything on closing day. We moved everything but the bare bones into the storage unit slowly over a month, then moved it back out the next month into our new house. It worked out well!

That was our life about 6 years ago! We moved out of our first house into this one with the hopes of moving on...not happening...choose wisely! haha!
