A shame you didn't make all those improvements to your house after you moved in three years ago. At least you would have enjoyed all the loveliness you created. Funny how when dollars are at stake, one is more motivated to make changes rather than for the purpose of sheer enjoyment.

I heard someone say, all those years of that house and we only enjoyed the updates for 2 months. It makes me sad”I never forgot that... We enjoyed our updates for years. We had to touch up paint and make a few changes along the way. We lived in our last home for 17 years and 10 years in started making minor changes with resale in mind. We would save $$$. Make changes, doors trim, Windows, carpet snd sanding wood floors. I did add wall paper early on that I loved. I finally gave in, removed it and painted. The white doors and trim we put in really popped. There is only one thing we lived with was an uneven wood trim in only one location going down to the basement. I asked my husband for years what we could do...he wad never sure until the realtor said it should really be fixed. 17 years of looking at it. 2 weeks of beautiful trim... grrrr. The next time I hear...I’m not sure, I am hiring someone to fix it!

Now the ignitor in the furnace went out. I will test it with your methods from your video. Its frustrating the furnace is only 5 years old .

Just stumbled upon your channel. Great content! I want to be this handy with my first house when I start a family. One thing: I believe the black debris on your AC unit is called sooty mold from the trees above it. Aphids feed on the foliage of trees and their excrement is called “honeydew”, rich in sugars. It falls on objects below and then mold colonizes it, and it looks like soot. Take care.

We put our house up on the market last..... August maybe? Cant remember for sure, but I spent about 8 days preparing it to list. We did hire painters to come in in and refinish the 20 year old honey oak cabinets and repaint the entire interior of the house that dull white color that most new houses come in. Our tile roof had a moss growing all over it, so I got up there and spent an entire day pressure washing it. It looked new again. We polished off an entire row of windows that had water spots all over them from sprinklers. Had a 25 by 10 foot section of the back yard sodded with fresh grass. I replaced a couple of fence posts and fixed a very weak fence. We painted the garage floor.... it looked GREAT! We replaced nook, dining room and bathroom light and sink fixtures. We had about 1200 ft^ of tile professionally cleaned. We did a lot of work but it all paid off. The house went up on the listing sites at 7pm on a Thursday night. BY Sunday we had over 30 people go through the house and had 4 different offers.... one was a full price cash offer and we had a 30 day escrow. We were very pleased that our efforts were rewarded. By the way, we bought the house in 1998 when it was 2 years old. We had been renting it out since 2013, so it was currently a rental when we decided to sell it.
