We went over the bedroom again, and we will still need to go over the ceiling and possibly one wall again. Oh well... at least it's almost done.
We're going to call some painters and see about getting our living room and possibly bedroom, kitchen, hallway and one more bedroom done. It depends on how much it costs, but for sure we want to get the living room done.
If the cost is too high we will do the other rooms ourselves, hopefully with less hassle...
I also want to call around to our friends and see if any of them have a carpet cleaner. I would like to clean the carpet in one bedroom and the hallway, and I can't see renting a cleaner for just those two areas.
A couple looked at our house on Friday. They have a limo service and would like to have garage space for the two limos and their two vehicles. They took measurements, so hopefully the vehicles will fit. They are handy types, so they said they wouldn't mind the work that would need to be done. (Trim, Carpeting, and possibly painting...Depending what rooms we paint.) There is also one roof valley that needs to be redone, but other then that this house is very structurally sound, being only 10 years old, for the most part.
So once again, if you know anyone.... We're only asking $164,900 for over 2300 sq. feet and two garages!!! In a friendly neighborhood, close to Madison, but still far enough away....
We had a nice time visiting with our friends, TJ, yesterday. We've been going out to eat more then we should lately, but it was enjoyable, and DH and I are reaching for the food as comfort. It's not the best to have both people in a relationship reaching for food as their comfort, but oh well.... cheaper then alchohol, cigarettes, or drugs!!!
But if we reached for the exercise tape that would be much better!
We also got a microwave from Freecycle.org yesterday. We have a very big one that will stay with the house, and if we're going to be moving into an apartment, I wanted a much smaller one. This worked out very well.
Frugal/Simple Thought of the Day: If there is something that you absolutely don't want to do (such as painting), it may be better for your mental health to hire someone. But of course, make sure to shop around for the best price...
