This weekend is shaping up to be a relaxing one before Tracy's friend Amber makes a visit next weekend. For once, we really don't have any major plans ... besides grocery shopping. Our cupboards have gotten a little bare this week!
No new updates on the house. I've lowered it another $5,000 (exactly $50,000 to date) and I still don't think that will be enough to stop the hemorrhaging wound. I'm kind of stuck on this one. I'm giving through the end of June / early July to sell and, at that point and time, a real decision needs to be made on what to do. Buyers are picky and they can be right now. And, I've learned buying a house in a city like Robbinsdale was a terrible idea. Next time, we're buying in city known f
or good schools somewhere in suburbia where more buyers are present.Lest I forget ... Robbinsdale decided to enact a home inspection requirement for any house on the market starting May 1. Lucky me, that's another $150 hit to my pocketbook. Well, hell, I don't even own a pocketbook, so that doesn't make any sense. I don't even know what a pocketbook looks like. Do they even make those for men? I digress, this house situation sucks and I really want to get out from underneath it. Unfortunately, I'm going to be paying for it for at least 12 months after I sell it. Who would have ever thought a home could lose 25 percent of its value in four years after being updated? Not this guy.
Maybe we should listen to Tracy's dad Terry's suggestion: "You should go panning for gold. There's a lot of places you can do that in California." Maybe that will bring us some luck?!
