Bye bye beautiful home

We did it. We sold our house! We worked non-stop through the month of October in order to put the house on the market at the beginning of November, and the first people to come see the house put in an offer. All our hard work paid off! It was bittersweet, though. As happy as we were to have sold the house so quickly in this market, our blood, sweat, and tears had thoroughly soaked into that house, and it was very hard to leave it. It will always be our first home, and so we'll never forget it.

Here are some of the amazing pictures that were taken by the professional photographer for the real estate listing:

And there you have it. We miss it already, though our attention is now focused on getting our new house in Portsmouth all set up. What are we starting with in that house? Gutting the kitchen, of course! This time, though, we decided to go the more efficient route: we hired a contractor. If you're lucky, we'll find some time to put up some photos about that project. But that might require a whole new blog...

Thanks for checking in on us and our progress! Sorry we were so inconsistent in our updating towards the end, but hopefully you were one of the lucky ones who got to see it in person before we left.

Peace out.

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!

Bittersweet! What a wonderful job you did for that old house and at least you know a new family will move in and love it (and they don't need to do a bit of work thanks to all your efforts!)

I'm thinking of re-doing my kitchen so am waiting for Ruedig tips on navigating the process, making the decisions, etc. I'll stay tuned, here or at the next blog!
