Now that we are coming into the real estate season, all hands are on deck to make sure the house looks great for any prospective buyers that might grace our front porch. Unfortunately, it seems like things are breaking faster than I can repair them. Not long ago we had to deal with the last minute faucet mishap. Most recently, my large wooden backyard playset experienced a minor disaster & now my front door handle is on the fritz !!!
What is a girl to do? Get out the tool belt, that's what! We have a lovely wooden playset in our backyard with a green tent top. During a recent rainstorm, along with the ever present midwest wind gusts that rival Wizard of Oz scenes, the tent top broke. I came down the next morning and looked out the large window on my stairway landing to see the tent top waving wildly. Oh crap !!!! Luckily I was able to replace the broken board and, along with Abby's help, fix the whole thing for under $30. But not before I had a minor anxiety attack.
Trying to sell your house is like waiting for a baby to be born. You can't wait for it to happen but you are in a total panic about when exactly it will take place. Will the baby be born in aisle 3 of the supermarket? Every prospective mom has that thought tucked away in the back of her mind. Same thing with prospective home buyers. We can hardly wait for them to come here but we panic at the thought they might show up at the most inopportune moment. Like when your playset is in shreds or when the door knob is broken and they can't even get in the front door, much less buy the whole house. The only thing to do is your very best. Keep that vacuum revved up and those paint brushes at the ready.
