Since we have had so much trouble with the basement flooding we may move. So we had a Realtor come over. Carol asked him for suggestions on selling our house. First we have to have the sewer company fix our problem. Then we can disclose that we had basement backups in the past but the problem is now fixed. That may be months away. Also he suggested painting the whole house a neutral color. Carol has always like bold colors, or as Craig called it the Skittles look. He also suggested to de-brass the house. Change all the door knobs, hinges, closet door handles, etc. to brushed nickel. That's what we have been doing for the last month. And probably for the next month too.
I even had our electric service box replaced too.
I got bids on a new roof but haven't done anything with that yet. It's not leaking, just old.
We have painted closets that I don't think have been painted since the house was built in 1974.
All things that needed to be done anyway but if we want to sell we have to.
The good thing is everything is getting fixed up and it's the right time of the year. If it was camping season I would not want to be doing this stuff.
A contractor is supposed to start fixing the basement soon.

What a job! When you get it all fixed up and the sewer company fixes the problem, why move? Tuff decision!
