And waiting IS the hardest part

This waiting thing is driving me nuts. The tenant issue has been handled but I'm still not happy about it. It doesn't help that I'm selling a house on the west coast and I'm on the east coast. Since they are three hours behind their day starts so much later. I think the closing is actually scheduled for today, but I'm not positive. I won't be completely done with the house until the 17th because of the tenant issue, but I can deal with that. It's only an extra week right?

Here are the before and after pictures of my little house (Click on the pictures to see the full shot):

I am going to miss that little house. I bought it almost 10 years ago. I literally put blood,sweat, and tears in to that house. At times I thought it would give me a nervous breakdown, but I survived. I thought at one time it would drive me to bankruptcy, but it didn't. It was a crap shack when I bought it, and I remodeled it myself (with some help of course). It was the location of some wonderful memories, and some sad memories as well. That's life though. I will never forget the first day I was there because my dog was so happy to have a yard for the first time in her life she refused to come inside and I had to carry her in. I lived there after I got married and divorced. It is a good house, and I had nice neighbors. I will always miss that little house to certain extent, it was my first home. Shoot it was the first yard I ever had too, and the first time I had lived in a single family home. Growing up we always lived in townhomes, and my mom still does. It was the source of a lot of fun and a lot of heartache. Thank you little house for being a part of my life. I hope the new owners will appreciate you as much as I did.
