I listed 117 for rent July 1 on Craigslist day before yesterday. We got a lot of calls, so we told them to come and see it last night at 7:00. Yesterday morning there were still tools all over, the floors were covered with sheet rock dust and dried mud, the kitchen was a disaster, and the yard was a mess. By 6:30, the place shone. I’d mowed and clipped around things with the hand clipper and picked up the clippings, I’d polished up the kitchen, from cabinet fronts to the inside of the microwave, I’d scrubbed all the sheet rock mud from the inside of the shower/tub, I’d washed floors by hand. Oh, and first of all, I hauled all the tools and building supplies to the garage, which we’d straightened and emptied a bit the night before. I was exhausted, but everything looked great.

Then only two couples showed up…..

But we know we have a couple coming on the weekend, and they sound most like the ones we want. She works in Chippewa Falls and he works in Rice Lake and they want to be more centrally located.

We still have all the carpet to lay and the trim to put up all over the house. (Anyone want to help!!). July 1 is 2 1/2 weeks away. I think we can do it!
