If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!We expected a much smaller footprint. Larry even wanted it on the southside of the driveway. It wasn’t until the deliveryman had it sitting smack in the middle of my driveway, that it occurred to me I couldn’t [...]

The POD arrives!
Like everyone else in the world, I too lament about the really cool business ideas I wish I would have thought of…first. FedEx, Kinkos, Starbucks and PODS.
We had a POD delivered today. POD is an acronim for “Portable On Demand Storage”.
They deliver a POD which is a big storage unit to your home [...]

WOMG!
Now we have to put our house on the market.
While living in it.
Every Realtor should be required to move at least every 3 years. We tell people how to do it like it’s easy.
It’s not.
We have been planning this for a long time. Last summer we had the exterior painted, not just because [...]

Seeing the light.
Our offer was so good and so fair. The seller was acting out of emotion and not reason. They wanted $2000 extra for the refrigerator.
Tell me where do you buy used refrigerators for $2000? OK, keep your refrigerator plus pay to have it shipped across country.
Duh.
Days passed. We began to feel ambivalent [...]

The Offer
After a couple days of thinking about the townhome we were both convinced it would be a good move for us. Now we had to figure out how to do it.

A Gravity Well
I always tell people they will know the house when they feel “it’s pull”. After you have looked at enough homes, may that be 2 or 20, you will know the one that is right for you by the way it feels.
The townhome was feeling very right for us. It meet most of [...]

Score!
While the 2 story was still strong on our minds, I stopped by an open house at a Lone Tree Townhome.
It only had a two car garage, but I have always loved the brick exterior of this complex. In the past we have shown units that came up, some were better than others, but [...]

A Contender
Larry found a real contender today. It’s a two story that backs to open space. It’s in Highlands Ranch, which ok because it’s still close in. The home has really good “bones” and lots of very special upgrades.
The kitchen is spacious, but it has white cabinets. As much as I don’t [...]

Searching for a Home
Larry has bought into the moving thing more than me. I figured it would happen when it happens. I wanted to finish a redo of a website before tackling the move thing. Focusing on two different things at one time has never been one of my strong points.
Each week Larry has set [...]
