In Reply to: I wouldn't do too much getting the house ready. posted by srdavis2000 on June 17, 2021 at 09:28:31:
Unfortunately, the deck finally got to the point where it really wasn't safe and was an eyesore. It was a POS when I bought the house 26 years ago. So, new deck ...and its not a good time to buy a lot of wood.
The front walk and the wall adjoining it have needed replacing for years. I've rebuilt the wall to the best of my ability twice. Having it done right this time.
I spent last weekend stripping the hideous wallpaper my ex chose off the kitchen walls. Awful work. It already looks better.
Anyone considering wallpapering a room should be required to first strip a room of its wallpaper. That'll change their mind !!
Then I need to paint one small room and do some touch ups here and there.
I've been throwing stuff out and selling things I don't need for about a year now. Wanted to get ahead of the curve. The attic is nearly empty, the garage is no longer stuffed and every drawer and closet has been gone through. Over 20 bags of clothing, blankets, etc. went to Goodwill.
I love getting rid of stuff !
Its almost more gratifying than buying stuff.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
