Jobs to do on the outside of the house and garden...........

So on Tuesday I made a list of what there is to do inside of the house. Today I'll list the jobs to do outside.

The downspouts are all to re-attach, lengthen and generally sort out, and while we're doing that we'll check out the guttering.

There are wooden molding/gingerbreading on the under side of the roof, that is to remove, strip and re-paint and re-hang.

The garage is to rewire, insulate and I'm not sure what else.

The shed is ready to fall down, so that's a project.

The deck is to jack up and new stronger posts to put in. Plus we want to extend the deck.

The ground outside the basement patio doors needs re-grading.

Pointing to be done on one outside wall.

The gardens are to be re-done.........that is going to take years!!!

Driveway will need to be either re-gravelled or asphalt put on it.

New mail box to be made, the one there is dropping to bits.

Fencing to be put up on the front of the property, as part of it has fallen down.

I am quite sure there is a lot of other jobs to be done, but those are the main ones.

Even with all this work we are still looking forward to moving into the house.

I have got some boxes packed, and will be popping down to my local grocery store for 8am on Friday to pick up a pile more boxes. I talked with the manager the other day and he said he would ask the guys to keep some for me. They were going to keep some toilet roll and kitchen towel boxes aside for me, and the produce guy said he would keep some more apple boxes to one side for me, so at least I am all set for boxes.

I still have to venture down to the basement and sort that out......hopefully on the weekend.

Daily Savings Club - as per my calculations you should have $14.25 in your pot today, hope you are keeping up with it?

Catching up again, more on the house......

It's been a busy few days with hardly time to breathe.

Tuesday I had visitors from England, so that day just flew by. Plus we had a viewing on the house.

Monday was another busy day, with another viewing on the house.

So that makes ten people who have viewed the house but no offers yet. The house went on the market on the 12th of February, so it has now been two weeks. Still trying to remain optimistic, but will say there is a nagging doubt in the back of my mind, with a what if.......

So I have been too busy to visit anyone's blog. For that I must apologise. This house selling business seems to have consumed my whole life. We have until the end of March to sell our house, so still have a few weeks to go. As I am writing this on Wednesday, I am trying to prepare some posts for the blog, to try and catch up.

How are you doing with the Daily Savings Club? You should have $13 in your pot, and we are nearly at the end of the month.......
