I posted the house clean out sale on Craig’s list.  I can’t believe we’re almost done with this!  Eight months of hard work is FINALLY coming to an end.  WHOOHOO!!!

     I might have time to do things I want and need to do soon.  G and I carried all the small stuff to the basement for that part of the sale.  All we have to do is set up tables and put stuff out.

     We rearranged the furniture upstairs so that it is well displayed.  With the removal of the old refrigerator and a little cleaning to do yet that area is ready for the sale.

     It’s taken us eight months to get this far.  We are ready to get to the end of this ASAP now.  I do believe that after another Wednesday we can set the sale date and give it a go.

     Can I have a YIPPEE?

     Our Craig’s list, list for the household clearance sale is lengthy.  Therefore, this is a test to see if I can include enough items on it to create interest.

     Furniture: sofa, lounge chair, coffee table and two end tables, numerous lamps, Kimball organ—needs repair, bedroom set with king size headboard, large Lane chest (valued at over $800.00), oak table, chairs, circa 1950’s Dinette and 6 chairs, sewing machine in cabinet, small NEW chest freezer, and antique wood phonograph/radio cabinet.  Three sets of antique dishes—excellent condition.

     Asst. Household items, glassware, asst ceramic and glass beer steins, old records 33’s and 78’s, and old books–some first editions.

    Two large tool chests–one is a Craftsman, and asst tools, scrap wood ideal for crafts.

     Before I got over to the house, DH went over to lend R a hand while he removed the ice maker tap from a water pipe.  (Hey, Chuck one less thing to do!)  We figured we might as well take advantage of R’s plumbing skills when he offered. 

     Much to my surprise, when G and I did get there, the large six body capacity chest freezer and the little electric stove that were in basement were gone thanks to the neighbors.  DH and R had already left for home too. 

     The newer refrigerator that the in-laws had in the basement is what we’re putting upstairs to replace the old nasty one and it is now sitting by the basement door.  It will remain there until the painters are finished. 

     All the old linoleum on the basement floor is up and out thanks to the neighbor’s son.  He used an ice chopper to get under it and then tore it all into manageable pieces.  Two layers of the nasty stuff!  The cement floor underneath looks great and will go a long way towards selling the house.

     G and I hauled many boxes of glassware and other household items downstairs.  We hope to set up our sale with small items and tools in the basement and the furniture upstairs.  It looks as though the big sale will be possible in about two or three weeks.
