preparing to sell

So I realize that I quit with the traveloguing at Day 4 of 15... though Day 5 is mostly written.  Mostly because I got lazy but also because we've had a lot of other things that need attention.

See... we're going to need to list our condo for sale soon (with luck in the next few weeks) so we have a lot of things to do around the house before we have a realtor come in.  Many tasks are small but a few are a little more labor intensive.  Over the weekend we made a list so that we would have specific tasks and goals and each day I've been trying to identify a few things to work on each evening.  We have vague plans to go to Niagra Falls and Toronto for Veteran's Day weekend but we won't make it there (or I won't enjoy it) if we don't have the majority of these things accomplished.

Here's the list:

• Remove cork boards (x2)
• Remove items
• put in Basement
• Remove most pictures (personal)
• Including fridge It looks so sad now
• Paint touchup
• walls
• obvious furniture
• Deep clean
• Wash windows (in/out)
• Top of coffee table – strip and repaint
• Empty cubbies (of junk)
• Top of dresser – keep Will’s stuff in the open to a minimum
• Move to basement or elsewhere:
• rolling shelves
• rock band
• guitar
• trombone
• Wii basket
• Club chair and ottoman (replace with chair from IKEA which is in NJ)
• Bar stools
• eBay
• catalog
• list for sale
• if sold, mail
• if didn’t sell, take to Goodwill
• Goodwill
• gather
• catalog for tax purposes
• deliver
• Declutter
• Closets
• kitchen cabinets
• other visible areas
• under night tables
• end table in living room
• kitchen counters
• Hang mirror in bedroom
• Reorg basement / make room for more stuff
• Chalk board – declutter, depersonalize
• Cull magazines that have been collecting I've been working on this one for over 2 weeks.  My ultimate goal is to end up with 2 "scrapbooks" of clippings - one for fashion and one for home decor.  I have magazines and catalogs from most of the year.
• Replace hallway lightbulb with a regular one

Bathroom

• Different DampRid
• "Fix" wallpaper around medicine cabinet - I have a plan.  It just needs to be executed.
• Painting in the cracks/seams
