House update

The house is now officially all fixed up and cleaned. Only thing left is to do some staging... which will be tough since my furniture consists of second hand couches, coffee tables, a folding table, dressers and drawers from my childhood, and cheap office furniture from Staples. Oh and of course a futon I slept on in college.

The hardest thing to do now will be to keep the house showable. It really goes against what I'm used to doing... that is let things pile up, then take care of it all in one shot. Maybe it'll be a good thing for me to learn.

Some interesting things I found:

  • Cable bill from 2001 (my cable was $23 a month back in the apartments)
  • My rejection letters from college... including two from P&G (and of course one acceptance letter from P&G)
  • My acceptance letter to the University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, and Cal Tech (I have absolutely ZERO regrets going to Madison)
  • A bunch of postcards from my friends I had kept, including stuff from college. Many are at least still Facebook friends.
Also, my beloved Brewers chair is now in the basement. But don't worry, where ever I end up, it'll be back in a prominent place!

Good luck!
I found the easiest way to maintain a place to sell is to clean and stage it...then move out and check up on it periodically!

wtf? I'm pissed at my rss reader bloglines because it hasn't been aggregating your blog's feed since April 2009! I thought you hadn't been posting anything since then. That's it, I'm switching to Google Reader.
