2010-11-30 . I have spent the last three months trying to sell my townhouse. The process has been….well–to say it has been a roller coaster would be putting it lightly.  I first encountered a handyman that was worthless and made my front steps look worse than they did at the beginning— to which, I screamed.  [...]

A home inspection, on my house. Can we say painful?

I am doing remarkably well, considering…

August 19, 2010

2010-08-20 I am in the process of trying to sell my house.  Actually, the listing was almost ready to go live, but we needed to get a few things patched here and there so that everything looked spic and span ready.  Today, a very lovely young man arrived bright and early (as in 7 am) [...]
