Hopefully Soon This Room Will be Ready for Living

Hick switched his attention from the Bargain House kitchen to the living room last Wednesday. Once the refrigerator and stove had been moved into the kitchen, it was time to put flooring down in the living room. Hick always says "we" did it, but looks like Old Buddy is doing the work!


That's a good-looking floor. It would speak favorably to me if I was viewing the house with the purpose of purchasing it. I don't know where Hick got that spindly table that his saw is sitting on. It probably came with the house. I can't imagine him moving such a thing in there to work on. 

Hick says he plans to get new mini-blinds for the windows. He's not going all-out for window coverings in a property we are ready to sell. But the old blinds are doing it no favors.

On Thursday, the flooring was all down. Here's a view from the front door area, showing how the living room leads to the kitchen.


The living room still needs trim and receptacle covers, but is basically done. Hick has a little shoring-up work to do under the house, and maybe something in the half-basement. He says he's about ready to list Bargain House for sale, because he can do that work without interruption, even if an agent wants to show the house.

Sadly, our Realtor has retired! She called Hick to tell him. She said the young guy who was working with her is capable of handling the sale. I don't have a problem with that. He's helped Hick a couple times when Realtor was out of the office. I don't see any reason to go with another agency. Any realtor can show the house, just by contacting the office.
