May 1st

May 1st, 2010 at 04:40 pm

Today I am working, it is my weekend to work this month.

I was paid yesterday since the first fell on a Saturday. Yesterday Night a friend of STBX came over to look at our siding.

He recomfermed what I thought. That to replace the side siding piece all the pieces come down because it goes on first.

But because the melting to the side piece is VERY minor, we could get by without replacing it and either someone will not notice it or it will be so small that it is no big deal.

On Monday STBX needs to run down to the place that sold our siding to the contractor and pick up two pieces and the friend will replace them for $20.

His friend also mentioned that they make a paint for siding so if it gets marked up you can paint it. STBX hit the side of the house with a bobcat and so a piece has black marks on it. I am going to try to get the mark out with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (I LOVE THEM) and if that does not work he will pick up a bit of the paint to fix that when he gets the siding on Monday.

Hopefully the $20+ ??? Supplies fix for the siding will help create more interest in our property. I really do not want to do MUCH more to fix up the house because that is one of the reasons we are selling it, so many to do items, but I think I might ask our realtor what we should do to improve our showings.

    Do you have a picture to put up of the front of your house? Maybe we could give you a few ideas.

    I think I read before you wanted to plant some flowers, but it was still getting too cold. How about a few potted flowers? Just some annuals in a bowl type planter and you could set a few out during the day and put them inside at night. Just a little bit of color can make the house look prettier and more "happy".

    CreditCardFree - I will try to post a picture.

    Looking Forward - I should be able to plant in 17 days so I am going to just wait it out to avoid having to pay for pots etc.

    Cptacek - It is vinyl siding. We are going to just replace two melted side pieces and leave the cornor piece alone. I dont think I worded that correctly above.
