After completing a major home renovation in my head this past week, I decided to out my obsession with Scott. As it turns out, he wants to move more than I thought! We talked through the pros and cons and we have decided that we will not in fact grow old in this little green house. Keep in mind that early in our marriage I was trying to figure out all kinds of tricks to move sooner rather than later so his change of heart took me by surprise. Since I have found that remodeling can fix most any problem I an actually less eager to move. However, our main complaint with this little green house is that it sits on a fairly busy street. No matter what, we won't be able to fix that so bye bye little green house!
So, now with sights putting our house on the market in 2011, here is my project list for home resale:
1) Renovate main floor bathroom
2) Install a fixed dishwasher (we have the portable kind!).
3) Basement flooring
4) Refinish stairs leading down to the basement
5) Install a new back door
I know some of my regular readers have moved, do you have tips? How in the heck can you make improvements AND save for the new down payment at the same time?
I think it is odd not to have a photo on this post so here is the first IKEA product that I am actually really excited about. Too bad my intensive savings plan just went into effect. For those of you who like IKEA, here are a couple of sites that may interest you:
