This Damn House

Sounds like a movie, eh?

I admit I was a bit trepidatious about what the real estate agent would say. "Huh. Well, I suppose we could sell it as a fixer-upper." or even "Huh. I wonder how much the land would be worth if we razed the house."

She didn't say that, though. She seemed to think it was actually a pretty nice house. (She might be biased since she was our agent when we bought it, too.) She agreed with our priorities on aspects to fix (paint, finish floors, etc.) and which to leave, and encouraged us to invest in good landscaping.

What she did say was that to catch the peak of the market, we should have the house ready to show by mid-March.

MARCH? Like...this March? March of '08?

AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH.

There's so much to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

(That's ignoring, for the moment, the uncomfortable prospect of moving my family into some temporary housing from the time we sell until Mosaic is ready for move-in; which in theory should be next summer but...I dunno, has there been a project since Noah finished his ark that completed on time???)
