You just can't control everything.

Well it happened. We had someone call Saturday night wanting to look at the house! We were very excited and slightly panicked. We spent about an hour and a half cleaning and straightening and putting away that night, and then probably about 3 or 4 hours the next day puttering and cleaning. (It’s amazing how you think you have everything ready and then just how many extra little things you can add to your list.)

By about 4 on Sunday, we were ready and they were supposed to come at 6. So we ate a quick PBJ sandwich (so we wouldn’t stink up the place) and waited. Six came and went, and we were still waiting. By 6:45 we were pretty sure that no one was coming. And they didn’t. And they haven’t. I neglected to get a phone number when I set up the appointment, so we didn’t even have a way to contact them to double check their intentions. Lesson learned!

It was extremely disappointing. So hopefully someone else will want to look soon, and they actually COME!

In other news, we could have begun on the basement yesterday…except tomorrow and for the rest of the week it is supposed to rain. Again. So we are waiting. Again. But A and I both agree that we would rather wait now and have everything be able to be done correctly rather than rush into it and have problems later.

We are either going to develop tremendous patience during this process, or die trying!
