I take my hat off to my step-mum these days.
We are moving into that time of year where it seems like there is not enough time to get everything done. Now add a renovation project to that…
Things are moving along at my step-mums new place, and I’m sure they will be done shortly. To get there we’ve had a few days filled with looking at some of the materials that are going in, and now the tiles, paint and wooden floor should be in place. We’ve done some measurements, and I think we are ready to order the kitchen counter, whenever my step-mum finds one she likes 🙂 A new closet for the guest bedroom has been ordered, and sometime this week, I believe we will be picking up the newly painted kitchen fronts. I have to say, she is a trooper. I’m totally impressed with how much she have managed to get done, is such a short time.
Part of buying a new place, is the selling of the old. The first showing is on Sunday, and I’m hoping it will sell quickly and at a price she will be happy with. There are always some stuff that needs to be done, to make sure a place make a good impression, and my step-mums been a busy bee. Even so, there are still some stuff she needs help with, and yesterday a friend of mine and me, went over there and did some work on her closets (drawers removed, hanging rods added), so that it presents correctly during the showings.
It’s incredible how much work there is every time one decides to buy and sell property. There a a zillion thing to think about, and the moving itself is just part of it all, which I’m sure most you know everything about. I’m just glad it’s not me! This time around, I only have to help out a little 😉
You can see how December this year will be a little busier than normal! So stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted 😉

Nice of you to lend a hand. Hope she has a smooth move.

I hope so too, the move itself is next year. First she needs to sell the old one (showing is today), then there is Christmas 🙂 and then, sometime early next year the move itself. I think she is hoping to be able to renovate the bathroom at her new place before she moves in.. and she have just gotten the prices for the renovation.. so they probably won’t get that done before sometime in January.
