This week we had another spate of inconveniently timed house showings. As usual none resulted in offers or interest of any kind. But at least one of them yielded helpful, constructive comments (the first of their kind)
The buyer liked the home and it was one of the better ones we saw that day. He felt though that he would need to replace the deck and fence and wasn’t crazy about the layout of the lot. He wanted to look at some other properties but we may be back. I would suggest tearing out the fence and fixing rotted boards on the deck.
A friend agreed that the deck is kind of terrifying (it really is) but concluded that if someone were to get this house for such a low low price they can go ahead and build their own damn deck. Amen! I’m really trying not to fixate on this, but I would love to avoid a long drawn out foreclosure. Even if it means a long drawn out short sale.
Five good things for this sunny Saturday:
- Forget Cowboys vs. Aliens (I’ve heard it’s to be avoided) - I’m stoked about another movie featuring extraterrestrials. Nick Frost’s Attack the Block. It’s opening weekend in the states, but not just yet in Minnesota. SOON!
- Seriously, the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve seen in some time
- Last night and this afternoon I bore witness to The Soap Factory & MN Alliance’s “The Amazing Adventures of the Corporate Wizard in the Land of LARP.” Nighttime photos and daytime photos.
- My kid (and any version of my younger self) would love this Build your own Muppet workshop
- Nicely edited Born this Way - Lady Gaga Comic-Con 2011 Cosplay Lipdub
Last Saturday I was feeling far too surly to go out. This Saturday I’m in a much better mood but have far too many options (including the cat circus!) to choose from. Not the worst problem to have. And an evening out ought to help me forget my actual problems, for just a little while.
