Ready to Go?

I'll go ahead and cut to the chase: We got an offer!  As we were wrapping up with the chores someone walked up and made his pitch to us.  He said that he and his wife/girlfriend/realtor flip houses in the neighborhood and wanted to take a look since he saw the sign in our yard.  Being the generous, accommodating folk that we are, we showed them around.  After hemming and hawing, he made an offer to us, albeit informally.  So, it appears as though in the worst case scenario, we'll still be decently in the black!  Yay!  ...well, until we pay taxes and such and then we'll be decidedly closer to even.  ...but still!  This is a positive thing!  I, pessimist as I am, HAVE to view this as a positive sign.

Bearing that in mind, we still did do work today, putting more polish on the tur....key!  Ok, polish on a turkey isn't entirely appealing, but taken separately, they each have their merits, so just roll with it.  The boss (Hi Wife!) did a bang up job cleaning the everything rooms to get them ready for pictures.  

So here we roll.  The first set of photos-graphed were for the master bathroom/closet, behold!

We will spare you more pictures of the master bath...we've milked the tasks in this bathroom for more than they are worth.  But speaking of repeats...here are some daytime pics of the guest bath...mmmm...milk, does a body good!

Next, whilst Randall painted doors and such (yes, we just changed authors because Randall is indisposed), I tackled cleaning the hobbit laundry room.  BAM!

After laundry I headed to the kitchen.  These pics also show the new grout that we did to hide the gap between the counter top and the back splash tile.  It ties in pretty nicely.

Figures X-Y: Nope, no more gaps!

The schizophrenia is really taking hold now as I'm back at the helm as the boss packs for ANOTHER TRIP.  Yup, to celebrate our anniversary the boss (Hi Wife!) is heading out of town to visit friends and leave me with the finishing up.  I didn't realize that 5 years was to-do lists!

The rest of the night was really spent hiding the flaws, er, I mean, "cleaning".  Our game plan has apparently become Let's-Distract-Them-with-the-Floors-and-Hope-They-Don't-Notice-the-Other-Flaws.  Look at these babies shine

Figure Y+1.  Master Bedroom (I think?)

Figure Y+2.  Living to Dining to Kisshen

Figure Y+3.  We decided to paint the walls orange-ish, think Pumpkin Spice Lattes!

Yeah, no, we didn't do that, it's just the cozy-osity of the dining room chandelier.

Thursday afternoon we put the finishing touches on what we thought was necessary for a showing.  Just keep hoping that they don't pull too hard on a few door handles and aren't too squeamish about less than perfectly clean tiles, and, well, it's a longer list than it should be.

Either way, Friday it should be up and official, the link will be posted for all to see.  Think it'll sell before the boss comes back on Monday?  Mmmmm, doubtful, but maybe someone will come look at it and tell us that it really needs thresholds (THEY'RE IN THE CLOSET OK?!) or some quarter round around all the baseboards (IT'S IN THE GARAGE GET OFF MY BACK, MAN!).

Happy Almost-Labor-Day Weekend!
