mortgage

With mortgage rates so low we discussed two possibilities. One being refinance and remodel our current home to attach the garage, which would mean making it wider by 8-10 feet, and building rooms above it. But still have a kitchen that's too small (on the property line) and less than a quarter acre. Or we can sell this house and buy a bigger one.

We decided to sell. 

This means doing some repairs that are too much work for us, so we'd need a contractor. And doing an overall face lift by repainting everything, replacing the deck, and mostly removing 50% of the stuff in the house. So that's what we're doing. Today is day 10 of these tasks. I have several contractors who have given bids, but can't get to  us for 60 days. And us just working our butts of taking things to storage and painting what I can while I wait for those repairs to get done. So wish us luck on all of this 🤷
