Silver and Bronze

Barb won one silver and two bronze medals in Kitchener.  She was very disappointed because she usually wins Gold.  Again she felt her partners let her down.

First Showing

While Barb was away at the pickleball tournament in Kitchener, we had our first showing.

The lady who came to look at the house said she didn’t like the wallpaper.

Cupboard Space

While Barb was in Kitchener for a pickleball tournament, she took some time to see our new place.  We had not seen it in real life.  We had only seen pictures on the internet.

Barb was impressed with all the cupboard space.  She thought we didn’t have to throw all of our stuff away.  In fact, we had so much cupboard space she thought she might store some of her fabric in the kitchen.

Lamp Ball

Barb cleaned everything she could think of.  She even took down the doors of the laundry room and pulled out the washer and dryer to clean underneath.  She asked me to help her put the doors back up because it was very difficult for one person.  While we were putting the doors up, we hit the lamp ball in the hall.  It fell on the floor and we were relieved it didn’t break.  Then because it is round, it rolled on the floor into the hall and hit the bench and broke into pieces.

Real Estate Agents Visit

When a new house goes up for sale, the seller’s agent arranges a day for the other real estate agents to come to look at the house.  So the day was arranged.  Barb was playing in a pickleball tournament that day.  I had to get up earlier than usual and get the house ready.  Then I went out for a couple of hours. 

No agents showed up.  I guess they do everything over the internet these days and don’t go to the showing any more.

Facebook Advertising

Barb got the good idea to post the listing of our house on Facebook.  We were able to just put a link of the MLS listing on our home page and a picture of our house came up.

Barb Spying

We had our first Open House.  We had to leave the house for two hours.  So we decided to just go to our next door neighbour’s house.  Barb sat in the front room with our neighbour and spied on the Open House to see who was looking at our house.  She expected some of our nosy neighbours to come but they didn’t.  In fact, nobody came to the Open House.  She was very disappointed but she thanked our neighbour for the use of her house to spy.
