Lesson #344: Never clean the house when you feel like a zombie.

Lesson #167: Move every two years, just to get rid of stuff. That’s Dad wisdom, through and through.

Lesson #375: Label everything that is liquid and has been put into a spray bottle, so you don’t have a surprise when you go to clean the windows.

Lesson #12: Don’t have pets and carpet. Pets OR carpet, maybe. Not pets AND carpet.

Lesson #117: Don’t wait until you sell your home to fix it up. It makes you not want to sell your home when you fix it up and make it picture pretty.

Lesson #400: Junk drawers are not your friend. They are junk.

Lesson #1: It is good to have family and friends who do nice things for you when you are getting ready to sell your home. Appreciate them.

One home, almost ready for open house. Just don’t look in the garage. Yikes. (That just means one major garage sale, coming soon. We’re not selling the garage, however. Just the mountain of stuff inside.)

Thank you Cosmo, Mike, John, Angela, Dwight, and Dad. We are so very grateful for all you have done to help us get things ready. John, do your thing!
