The house has new carpet and vinyl flooring now and it looks pretty good. My big job now is to rescreen the back porch. The old screen and boards have been removed and are sitting in a pile in the yard.

Next job is to get new screen material stapled up. I hope to have most of that done by Friday, and then spend the weekend cutting and nailing in the boards to cover up the seams and make everything look pretty. Then I can start on the ceiling fans and getting appliances back where they belong.

Several of the houses that were rental properties on the street have gone on the market and sold fairly quickly, so hopefully we’ll have a similar result.

It’s been almost a month in the apartment now, and it’s time to move the rest of the stuff out of the house into storage. Tomorrow we rent a big moving truck again, load up the rest of the stuff stashed in the garage and move it to storage.

The kitchen has new counters, the archway into the former office and the door between the shack and the bedroom are both filled in, and the walls have a fresh coat of paint on them. The house is now a 4 bedroom (counting the room over the garage), 2 bathroom house as it was originally designed to be.

Next week the carpet and vinyl get replaced. While that’s happening, I’ll be re-screening the back porch and putting back the shelves that had to be taken down for painting. Then put the appliances back, a bunch of cleaning and the house goes on the market!
