Window Treatments

We finally got the last touches to mom's addition today. They are her window treatments.  These are the same Plantation Blinds that we have in the rest of the first floor. They are made of wood and pretty durable.  Mom likes them and they are easy to open and close.  :0)


We also had the A/C Heating guy at her house today as I tried turning on the A/C on Saturday as I was thinking about doing some more cleaning and it just did not get below 80 degrees.

The tech we called out is the same one whom mom and dad used for years.  He remembered them and spoke very highly about dad. 

But he also said that he had conveyed to them for at least the last few years that the system was on its last legs, but dad insisted he just add more Freon or whatever he needed to do to make it work.  Dad was a bit of a MacGyver guy.  If he could rig something up or get someone else to and it worked, he saved money.

We are going to have him just replace the Central heating/AC system.  Mom is okay with it too.  I want everything to be in good working order so that she doesn't get low balled on the price.

The COMING SOON sign lasted all of a few hours this morning.  Hubby was over there cleaning out most of the garage and he said 3 different cars came by and wanted to look in the house.   He shooed them away but then took the sign down too and put it in the garage. He has things he needs to do and we are not showing the house to anyone before it is ready anyway. Not to mention they HAVE to go through the real estate agent.   So we are going to wait until we aren't running over there every day to have that sign go back up.  The good thing is there is already interest so that is nice.

Also need the entire sprinkler system checked as I think there are at least 2 broken sprinklers.  This is a busy time of year for all this sort of stuff.  The place we want to use cannot come out until the 2nd week in June so we're just going to move the listing date.  Trying to push everything that just won't be ready in time is not worth it, and really adds to the stress for both of us.
