Staying home to sell stuff this weekend. (Frown)
Usually we go to the “floaty house” for the weekend, but this weekend we’re staying home to get the Mercedes sold, and this time, we’re serious. We originally put it up on the market in October, 2009 but when people called to see it over the weekend, we weren’t home to show it. We lost out BIG time on a lot of potential buyers.
This time we’re staying home. I’ve currently got it at the dealership for all warranty repair needs (they gave me a loaner so I’m bumming around in a new one!). I’ve also got plans to get it waxed today, so it looks all nice and sparkly to show.
We’re also going to CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN this weekend. (My house is atrocious, laundry needs to be done, the dogs need baths, the floors need vacuuming, and all of the bathrooms need cleaning.)
While I’m on the topic, the boyfriend is going to spend some time making our pontoon boat nice and quiet. Pending we can borrow the trailer from the HOA, we’re going to pull it out, clean it, install stuff to make the motor quieter, and repair the pontoons. I can almost guarantee he will spend most of his weekend on this and get out of the rest of the chores.
I’m going to put a bunch of crap on Craigslist. A Tivo, a Zune, two projectors (one with a motorized screen), and one of those fold out laundry jobs I never even took out of the box. I will also be hauling a bunch of crap to Goodwill.
And while I’m at it, I woluld really like to dig through my boxes of pictures in the garage and find stuff of my dad while I was little. His birthday is coming up, and I can’t think of a better present than a really cool Photobook out of iPhoto.
So when it’s all done, we should be leaner, cleaner, and about $10,000 richer. And maybe,Stay finally I can rid myself of that Advanta bill misery!
