done

After many weeks of using days off, and time before or after work, my house is up on the rental market. The original blue carpet that came with the house 12 years ago has been replaced and every room, including ones I had never painted before all have fresh paint now. Funny how I looked forward to putting in that new carpet for years, and now that I have, I don't live there anymore... I'm really pleased with how well the house turned out, and I plan to be very careful about who I rent to, with background checks and credit reports to vet potential renters. And the neighborhood is changing as well, with two houses across the street from mine up for sale now. The owner of one of them has lived there as long as I did, and it just seems to confirm for me it was time to move on as well.
So if anyone fancies moving to the beautiful Coeur d' Alene area of north Idaho, I have a nice place already to rent...

Oh, and now I can get back to that honey do list at our place...sigh...

I would have LOVED this house when I was just starting out. In fact, my first home looked amazingly like this and I confess that I had the most wonderful time in it. I had never owned a home before and finding furniture, curtains and shower curtains, etc. was so much fun. Brings back wonderful memories.
