Now that the house has been on the market for a few weeks we have gotten some interesting feedback. The downstairs gets lots of positive comments while the upstairs needs updating. We were kind of bummed. We've put a lot of work into the house, and we already gave an allowance for carpet for upstairs. Well, Jeff and I walked upstairs and picked a couple of projects that we could do that would make a nice impact.
One of the projects was the deck coming off the toy room to the backyard. The wood was rotted and really not looking good. I decided to reseat the few loose boards and touch up the paint. Well, after peeling up the board our issue was much more difficult that just securing a few boards and touching up paint. We ended up doing all new deck boards and a whole new paint job. While it was much more work, and money, it turned out very good! Sandra, Grant, and Talmage were such good helpers! I really appreciated not doing this job alone. While I was at it, I also painted the bottom wood on the balcony. Hopefully this will help the house sell!
