It was very hard waiting for that next showing and loading up the little ones to drive around for hours and hours. And, so hard to keep the house spic and span.<br /><br />Beware of the man.Joy Hallhttp://joyhalldesign.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-78426703199386449812011-07-14T15:09:21.625-04:002011-07-14T15:09:21.625-04:00I tried to comment yesterday and couldn't. Th...I tried to comment yesterday and couldn't. The house next door is for sale. Over the weekend while the neighbors were away. A couple decided they would stop and look at the house. The lady fell and broke her hip. They are demanding my neighbors pay her medical bills and for her pain and suffering. They were not invited and no one knew they were coming. Tresspassing comes to mind....Tell those people in your yard to move on! If they really want to see a house ask the real estate agent to set up a showing.<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-23470998051956407342011-07-13T23:10:51.496-04:002011-07-13T23:10:51.496-04:00Ive seen stranger sights in my day MA.

If you can move it that way why not.<br /><br />My daughter moved into her new house and left half of her furniture in her old house to make it look lived in. They have had it on the market since Jan. and no offers yet. The market is terrible down here and they have reduced it twice plus it was abou 200,000. less then it was worth 2-3 years ago. They may end up renting it out.<br /><br />Maybe the gal that suggested using your new apt. was right. Move some of your stuff and your machine over there and at least you can be doing something you like. Easier on the nerves.<br /><br />Hgs<br /><br />FredaBFredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-75771083406359949182011-07-13T12:52:20.920-04:002011-07-13T12:52:20.920-04:00I hope the sale of your home goes through.

I knew it was beyond their means, but showed it due to the historic value.<br />Well, they put in offers, pestered us nonstop and finally, I had to tell them to get the H*LL off the property or the next step would be the Marshall.<br />Turns out the guy was unemployed and the woman a stripper.....only me!
