I spent the day working in the downstairs bathroom. There were a couple of places where drywall needed to be repaired - a bit of water damage from the shower over time. Also, I mounted a shelving unit over the toilet. It is such a tiny bathroom that it is hard to strike a balance between having adequate storage (for towels and curling irons and such) and having space to turn around!
Melissa has worked hard this week at painting doors and trim in the basement. The bathroom is the last "big" project to be done. That means we're almost ready to list and it also means I had better step up the process of Giving, Throwing and Selling.
While she was out today, Melissa bought a "For Sale by Owner" sign, so it looks like maybe we will take a crack at selling the house without a realtor. It sure would save some money, but we're not quite sure how it works! We know some folks who have done it, including a couple who is new to our small group.
Speaking of the small group, last night we started a study on "The Hole in Our Gospel". I think it might have the unfortunate side effect of shutting down one of our favorite Give locations. Keri (who helps lead the group with her husband Steve) got some crystal from Melissa a few weeks ago (you might remember). Well, the other day, Melissa gave Keri a tub half full of various baskets and other decorations that "might look cute in her daughter's room". Keri shared at group last night that she has felt convicted by the study already - especially concerning the amount of "stuff" they have and the tub didn't make it into her house. It's in limbo in the garage.
I told her we don't care what she does with the tub of "stuff" as long as she doesn't bring it back to us!
