Which place to work on?

Up early again this morning to start working on cleaning and purging stuff from the condo ... I will say it is so hard working on the condo when there is soooooooo much to do at the new house ...

But we got to work here cleaning up so the place looked presentable for our agent ... he was here right on time at 10:30 ... we went over all the paperwork ... talked about our competition and finally decided on a price ... I handed over the keys and we are now for sale ... our first open house is going to be on Saturday, September 10th and one on the 11th ... I sure hope we get a bite during that weekend ...

After Michael left we got to work packing some stuff up ... Jason was nice enough to agree to come over and help us move some of the big stuff ... even though it made me crazy because we have hired movers ... we went ahead and moved out the treadmill and cedar chest and several big boxes of stuff ...

actually David and I loaded up a whole bunch of boxes and made a trip over to the house ... dropped them off and I took off all the door locks and deadbolts on the house and we headed for a quick trip to Home Depot to get them rekeyed so we have only one key for the house rather than 4 ... after a couple of snags with getting someone to do the job we finally got it done ... made some new keys ... bought supplies to make saw horses and headed back to the house ... we were now late to meet Jason but it worked out well cause he was running late too ...

Jason, Jenny and Ellie got here ... David and Jason did all the work loading up the rest of the stuff to move ... we grabbed some dinner ... headed to the new house and unloaded all our stuff ... J. J. & E headed to my parents while I installed all our new rekeyed locks and then we went over to my parents as well ...

David was a bit bummed we didn't get more work done at the new house this weekend ... I felt like we accomplished some great tasks but I agree ... it would have been nice to accomplish something big and noticeable ... especially since we will be gone for the long weekend ...

but I suspect we will have many more weekends to accomplish big things on the house ... now we just need to see the quotes for the bathrooms ... fingers crossed that one is doable ... :)
