Just when you're getting up, life kicks you in the nads. (and I'm not referring to that ingenious Australian hair removal syrup)

The main source of income, Dustin's job, disappeared last week when they let him go.

Within a couple days we called a fabulous real-estate agent named Deb Mcfarland. This is the woman who sold our last house out from under us for a ridiculously high price. We're hoping she can do the same for us again.

Like the last house, we've updated almost every detail of this house. There's literally nothing else to do to this house except start doing major renovations like a new kitchen.

Here's my little list of upgrades that I've done:
New-
outlets and switches w/ dimmers (the gays need soft light)
plantation blinds
draperies
every ceiling and wall painted in decorator colors (to perfection, I might add, you should see how perfect my wall/ceiling corners are.)
faucets
door handles and hinges
cabinet pulls and hinges
ceiling fans
lighting fixtures
toilet seats
shower heads and handles
garage door opener
Italian ceramic tile in the entry, back hall, laundry and 1/2 bath
Turkish travertine on the fireplace and in the master bath
breast plate on the fire place

Refinished all the hardwood floors and trim throughout the house.
Refinished deck.

TO BE DONE:
Landscaping front yard
Mudjacking the driveway
Replacing a rotting window.

The realtor sent out a lackey to take pictures. But she didn't know angles or lighting. And we hadn't "staged" the house yet. (which is a remarkably difficult thing to do.) So I took some new ones to send to her.


Tell me if you think anyone will pay $199,877. We're basically asking for our money back on what we did and a little more to cover the realtor fees.

Here's the link to the realtors listing. With the old pictures. She hasn't put mine up yet.
