There's nothing like brainstorming a list of all the repairs and updates that your home will need before you can sell it to help you reconsider staying another five years. I walked around my house with a camera documenting areas that will need my attention. Some of the tasks such as painting walls and trim can wait until just before we get ready to put the house on the market. Other things such as repairing the hardwood floors and landscaping the backyard will require a time and money investment that we will need to budget for. Listed below in order of importance and priority are items around my house in need of repair or attention. They relate only to my home and likely wouldn't apply to other homes. The act of making a list, however, would apply to any homeowner. Every home will have it's own personalized list of major and minor repairs and it's a great idea to get an idea well in advance of what, how and when they will need to be made.
- Replace planks of hardwood floor damaged by overzealous puppy
- Install shoe mould at base of kitchen cabinets
- Patch and repair wood trim chewed by anxious dog left alone for too long
- Remove vinyl flooring damaged by toilet leak
- Patch, sand and paint holes in garage wall
- Remove paint spilled in garage
- Install hardware on master bath cabinets
- Remove wallpaper on master bath wall
- Fill holes in backyard, landscape along fenceline
Hopefully my next installment will include progress on one of the projects listed above. Stay tuned.
