Does anyone actually read this blog? I'm not a fan of Facebook so here we are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We have been quite busy. In the fall we decided that we want to sell our house and move out of West Seattle. We once loved West Seattle. We've lived here for 12 years now and bought our first two homes here. But things have changed so much I hardly recognize the area anymore. We thought and thought and decided to move to the suburbs and we have settled on the Issaquah/Sammamish area. They have really good schools and we could move into a 3 or 4 bedroom home with more than one bathroom! Imagine that?! The house we're in now is cute and there is definitely space to grow a bit (by adding a bathroom and bedroom in the basement) but it's not something we want to take on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Anyway, fast forward to Thursday, April 24. Our house went on the market in the afternoon but we asked for no showings until Friday morning. We were finishing up cleaning and packing up so we could head out of town for the weekend. Shortly after listing I had a man knocking on the door begging to see the house before Friday morning. He had an agent and said it's his "dream neighborhood" but he was going out of town and couldn't see it over the weekend. Finally, I let him in and had a feeling he liked it. Sure enough, a short time later our agent wrote to say that he heard from this guy's agent and he wanted to make an offer right away. At that point I knew it was going to be crazy. We said that we couldn't look at it that night and he'd have to wait a few days. In the end, we had 9 offers and got $65,000 over our asking price!! Five people did pre-inspections. It's an insane market up here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We accepted an offer that allowed us to stay an extra 2 months past our closing date. We have already closed (May 28) and don't have to be out until July 31. BUT in this market we are about out of time to find a new house. Recently we finally found one we all loved. They had an offer review date (they set these dates and then collect a bunch of offers) so we were going to pre-inspect on Monday because the offer review date was Tuesday and they accepted an offer on Sunday instead of waiting. It was devastating to us all. It's one thing to lose in a bidding war but we never even had the opportunity to try. So with a typical 30 day closing period we are almost out of time to find a house. That means we'd have to be under contract by June 30 or so at the latest. Dave is ready to start looking at rentals but I really hope we don't have to do that. Needless to say we are a bit stressed over here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm going to sign off for now. I'm attaching the link to our house. We spent months getting the house ready, rented a storage unit, worked on the yard, etc.. Enjoy!</span><br />

They won't allow uploading of photos from a computer anymore. I mentioned it in my last post and found a forum of people complaining about it. It sounded like they just needed to 'fix' something but that apparently isn't going to happen because it should not take weeks to do so. And as you know I mostly just post photos so without the ability to do that I won't be posting anymore. Sorry folks. There is some little work around and you have to post in HTML and then flip back and I tried a few times but it screwed my photo up and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. We'll see if I can get it to work but if not you won't be hearing from me.</span> Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12528638736043298692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406023381693456733.post-67495710020164165372013-01-03T23:29:00.000-08:002013-01-03T23:29:01.829-08:00The kitchen<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I thought I would write in case I really do have people reading this blog. If so, you are probably wondering why there are no more kitchen updates or photos. The reason is because 1. the kitchen still is not complete and 2. I do not like it at all. The kitchen ended just before Halloween so we've been back in business since then. But the backsplash is still not done (it is purchased and sitting in the basement) and we need it to be installed. And after that comes paint. There are no photos of the finished kitchen because I do not like the finished product and have not taken any pictures. The work was done fine by the contractor. It's everything we chose that I hate. I hate the dark cabinets, the counters, the hardware, that stainless appliances (especially the french door refrigerator). Need I go on? This is the first and likely the last remodeling project that Dave and I will ever do together. I do like the layout, the wood floors are fine too and having a gas range is good to have again. We just had no idea what this kind of thing entailed and were foolish to take it on. (especially with two small kids, mainly a newborn!) We threw away a lot of money and way too much time on something I hate to look at everyday. I know we added value to the house so that's good and will come in handy when we sell (which at this point is probably going to be sooner than later). Oh, my blog friends there is so much to catch up on. But for now I have to go to bed before little Miss Emily wakes me. Hopefully blogger will fix their glitch that won't allow me to upload photos from my computer and I can get a few more posts on here tomorrow. Good night.</span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12528638736043298692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406023381693456733.post-20294417261447610932012-12-27T11:33:00.002-08:002012-12-27T11:33:57.306-08:00SOTM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our plan all along was to put in red oak to match the rest of the house. But finding the fir made us reconsider. We both started googling pictures and trying to decide (quickly!) what we wanted to do. Fir is soft and not always a good option for a kitchen. Plus it's a different look than red oak. It wouldn't necessarily go with our new kitchen. It's more of a <em>rustic</em> look. The more we looked around online we also discovered that the black stuff covering the floors may contain asbestos. It was probably the old glue used to lay down linoleum years ago and the glue often contained asbestos. Now I was worried! Dave scraped up a sample and dropped it off the next day at a lab that tests for asbestos. We paid a little more to get our results in an hour and it came back <strong>negative</strong>! I was shocked! So now we were back to making the decision to keep the fir or pull it up and go with our original plan and lay red oak in the kitchen. Ultimately we decided to get rid of the fir. I felt terrible getting rid of the old, original floor. They kept telling me that you can't find wood like that anymore. If we had decided to keep it the contractor told us he wasn't scraping off the layer of black glue. He said the floor guy could do it with his sander. The floor guy said he wouldn't do it because it would ruin his sander. So basically if we wanted to keep the original fir floors Dave and I would have had to scrape off the layer of black glue. That just wasn't happening. It was hard for Dave to scrape a small sample for the asbestos test. </span>Alisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12528638736043298692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406023381693456733.post-81752406834910245962012-10-27T13:41:00.000-07:002012-10-27T13:41:16.180-07:00Let the demo begin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In case you've been wondering where we've been and why there haven't been many posts from me (is anyone really reading this blog, by the way?!) I'm going to attach some photos to show you what we've been up to. These are the <em>before</em> photos of our kitchen. (please ignore the mess! I took photos one evening while making dinner and the kitchen is a disaster.) It had original cabinets (house built in 1941) with a few updates along the way.</span></div>
