Wow Addy, just wow. You guys have done just an incredible amount of work in such a short time. I haven't even mowed my yard since you left. *sigh I guess I need to do that now...
It looks amazing.

Heck, I haven't mowed my grass in that time either. The frosts have pretty well taken care of THAT problem! But seriously Addy.... why did you ever LEAVE that paradise?

I love the color contrast of the pass thru granite and the wood frame. Also that entry is fantastic! Yea you deserve a rest before carpal tunnel sets in.

by the way love all the wood in the house and also the floors

I installed all the floors except the wood. Marble, travertine, limestone and tile, love them all

Well we found 4 dead fans, our dishwasher was in the back shed, the one put in was dead, ours was dead, so doing replacement therapy now.

Almost ready to list the house, but having disagreements with the realtor about price level. I think he is low balling to get a quick sale, even though he says it may take 7-9 months to sale.

So we are getting an appraisal whom is coming this week.

The hard work is almost done, now tweaking cleaning, dusting windows ....................soon soon we can just enjoy.

I had my ex-employees over last night It was so great to see my work crew after all these years. The department fell apart after I left, it was a good gathering for them all to get together and gab. The hospital system has really changed since I left.

Weather here beautiful going back up to near 90ish but at least below 100! Current days sitting low 80

It's great to keep in touch with former co-workers. Good for you.

great way to also spread the news the house is going on the market by having people over to see it ,word of mouth .I had a bank appraisal and a private appraisal on my house in NJ and split the difference .Also had a home inspection and had reports on the dining room table for people to take with them with pics of every room and size of every room .Plus included a 1 year paid for service contract on heating and air .I wanted people to remember the house by listing custom features also .This way if they were interested they could see every thing when they left .That being said my house sold to a guy from NY sight unseen .

I am getting an appraisal this week, 550 I don't trust realtors. We have signs up. Craigslist, zillow, friends over, neighbors told. The sign says the size of the shop, hoping that helps. A few come by, but being in the mid higher price range less buyers out there.
Oh well it will happen

It's nice you guys are getting in some fun time in between the pile of work you've done. Thanks for keeping us updated, I also hope you guys get a quick sale.

Gosh, what an improvement! Your hard work has paid off big time. Hope you are enjoying a well deserved rest

No rest yet, being a house cleaner now, Windows, shelves, drawers, still have stuff to be removed, tenants moving still, but at a good pace.
We need to clean up the shop garage some. Yard junk to get hauled away, stuff I left 6 years ago.
But getting there.
Pace not as intense, but constant.
