That's fabulous news! Now that you know that you won't be carrying two mortgages, there's no reason to be frugal about the move. If you had to, you could hire movers, rent a storage shed, or call U-Haul every night for a week to tell them that you need the truck for an extra day. Heck, you could even buy boxes! Okay, so I'm exaggerating a scootch, but at least you won't have to worry about your landscaping frying at your unsold house while your realtor vacations. That's not good for anyone's dharma. Thanks for the good thoughts! The budget already included movers with us doing a decent amount of the work. I can now have them do everything if I want them to. We also were going to have to pass on getting the tiles (3 are cracked) in the powder room replaced, but I've told the flooring people we're adding that as well. We will still have to maintain the landscape at the old home until we close, but we can handle that. Yea!!!

Congrats on a quick sale! Your old place must be as wonderful as you thought, cuz it didn't sit on the market. That's fabulous news!

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Very nice house & gardens! I can see why it sold so quickly. The landscaping is very well maintained.

Ladies, thanks - I appreciate it!
I will probably start another thread on the new house and document the progress of the garden. I wish I had done that at the old house.

Very nice, indeed! A lot of work, but very nice results! I'd have to poke a fake flower/plant in the ground...
