Fix It Up Now… Enjoy It For A Long Time

Now that we’re getting ready to move out of this house, we’re looking at what we need to do to around here to fix things and make it prettier.  I’ve done this before and you’d think I’d have learned then.

Fix the stuff and make it pretty before you move!

Really.  If you’re going to spend the money on fresh paint and flowers out front and a little other landscaping to make the house more presentable and attractive to buyers, why wait?  We should have done it all along so that we could enjoy the fruits of our labor instead of just paying so someone else can enjoy it.

On the other hand, had we fixed it up 5 years ago, we’d still have to do some touch ups to make it look fresh and clean, but at least we would have enjoyed a better patio and a better color and non-flaking coat of paint outside.

Part of it is that it’s hard to find the money and time when there’s not as much incentive to fix it all.  It’s not that we didn’t want to, but we kept putting it off.

But not next time… Next time we fix up while we’re living there.
