Money going to sprucing up house 2 put up for sale

March 25th, 2012 at 11:10 pm

Then I'll go buy a car.

Windows painting, steps and rail painting, moss cleanup, garden cleanup, tree cleanup, new plants put in, interior painting. Hoping it'll be under $5K.

Naturally, after looking at our first house--an informal inspection down the road, told the empty house's neighbour what we were doing and asked her questions about the block--we came across a neighbor on our house who listened to us vent about our troubles: lots of people in adjacent properties buying dogs and not bothering to train them so they all bark whenever, making it impossible for us to enjoy peace and quiet in our home.

I don't want to live where ignorance, recalcitrance, hostility and malice trump consideration and goodwill. I'm willing to sell and buy my way out of that. I can then buy a car with cash, and pay off the HELOC.

Treasury Direct is no longer selling paper I Bonds, except with income tax refunds, which we will probably never see as I much prefer owing.

    So, you've decided to stay in the area but move? How did I miss this? My darn break, I get distracted from important story lines!

    I'm keeping my options open. It might be best for my kid to finish up elementary school, even though I haven't connected with the staff and PTSA as well as I did when we were at the other school which has rapidly deteriorated in quality and population, but I'd also like to move up north, either two miles or eighty-five miles. Maybe sell the house and rent for a year, then buy elsewhere?

    You missed it because I deleted two prior posts, unsure if I wanted any of the words in those posts read back to me in court.
