Sale Prep - Day 3

The real work starts today.  We have the painter coming, we are moving stuff into the garage, we are making this thing a reality.  The painter, who is truly amazing, wastes no time getting the kids room prepped.  We have taken down the hanging pictures, the curtains, and - the hardest part yet - the vinyl decals on the walls that I put up when the boys were babies.  Sigh.  But, change is not only inevitable, it is necessary.  So, okay, here we go.  He pulled the furniture into the middle of the room and started changing things up.  Before we knew it, our kids sage green room was neutral tan again.

So, now comes the other problem.  We are out of space to store the stuff we keep taking off the walls and off the floor and out of drawers.  So, it was time to ask our neighbor if we could borrow his parking space for a month or so.  And to tell him that we were moving.  He really likes us, so I was not looking forward to the conversation. 

I am not above bribery.

So, parking space has been secured and bad news delivered.  The garage is turning into a temporary storage unit.
