One of the longer term (i.e. not this year) projects around the house is the basement. Currently, it’s comfortable place to hide from a storm, but not more time than that. Yesterday we were at IKEA and noticed 2nds of their floating floor are 1/2 off. After brunch this morning we picked up 25 boxes […]
Julio‘s Saturday column was about selling your house by blogging. If you recall, I did a little of that earlier this year. While the blog had no impact on the direct sale of the house (contractor down the street bought it), it had much indirect impact in my thinking about my house and the home […]
As expected, the contractor that bought our old place is now selling the lot. If you were interested in the location, but not so much the house itself. It is now a blank canvas. Build as you wish. Reminds me of scene from the Chevy Chase classic Fletch Lives (which, coincidentally, I saw at the […]
This morning we grabbed some coffee, put Cooper in his stroller, and took a walk up the block to watch the old house get knocked down. Hopeful is the only word that comes to mind. More photos here and here on Cooper’s site.
Just heard sometime on Friday our old house will be demolished. Good thing too, we’re pretty sure the place has gone feral since we left.
Though it’s blown over and buried under six inches of fresh powder, a ‘SOLD’ sign was added to the ‘For Sale’ sign in front of the house this weekend. Details to follow.
Just got word there’ll be an Open House at 2701 31st Ave NE, St Anthony, MN from 2-4pm this Saturday, Feb 25th. This one’s open to everyone. If you want to check the place out, mark your calendars. Especially if you’re looking for a great starter house for you and your dog. No, we won’t […]
If you sell real estate and want to take a the house, there’s an agent open house tomorrow – Tuesday, Feb 21, 2006 from noon to 2pm. Come by, check it out. For more info on the place, review my past house posts.
3 showings on the house since we got the MLS number yesterday morning, and a drive by. Nice. The ‘For Sale’ sign comes early next week, I think it’d be cool if it was sold before then. In Ericast #50, Eric Larsen says you can’t buy a house for under $200k. Well, you can – […]
The house is on the MLS now – #3152250. Woo hoo. I see this house being perfect for 3 different people: Single people (even with kids)It’s a small place, easy to maintain, with lots of storage. Easy access to downtown and the highways with a huge lot for gardening and landscaping. DINKs or DIPsJust the […]
