It’s been a “fun” couple of weeks and it’s not quite over yet.

In order to put our condo on the market, we’ve had some minor upgrades/fixes done to it over the last little while. New light fixtures were mounted, new wooden base boards in the bathroom (the plastic ones that were there before were just hideous) were installed, and our curtain rods finally went up.

Today we’re getting a couch (sofa bed) for our second bedroom. The couch is later to be re-used in the “library” of our new house. For now, the plan is to allow potential buyers to envision our second-bedroom-turned-office as actual bedroom more easily. I am waiting for the delivery guys at this very moment.

Tomorrow we’ll try for the second time to exchange our ugly, old light fixture in the bathroom. The first attempt revealed a big cut in the drywall that was not covered by our new fixture. So, we had to get a different one.

Then, there’s some painting that needs to get done. Some more tidying. Well, a lot more tidying. Curtains need to be hung. Then pictures need to be taken and papers need to be signed. And then, finally, a buyer needs to be found. :-D

I hope all these steps go over fairly smoothly.
