I wasn't sure that was a universal term. ;)<br /><br />I know I'm a hopeless perfectionist, but I hate to get this far with the project and start posting pictures of it without the porch overhang or without countertops...and, yes, even with a few stray boxes. Also, I know that I don't have the right camera lens to take good pictures of rooms that small, so I'm going to pay someone to take them, and I'm not going to do that till everything is finished.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-44740230824472427292013-03-20T15:09:17.452-05:002013-03-20T15:09:17.452-05:00We thought it was funny that they kept coming to t...We thought it was funny that they kept coming to the door to ask if they could really take it...but after one look at how haggard and drag-ass we were, I'm sure they realized we couldn't have put up much of a fight even if we hadn't wanted them to take it.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-32688252032495169342013-03-20T10:02:32.584-05:002013-03-20T10:02:32.584-05:00Best sidewalk sale EVER!!!!

I had to laugh Dana... because around our house "the dump" is like a social outing -- a fun place to go --. Ah... Texas! (so funny)<br /><br />You are quite the tease, lady. I can't wait to see more pictures but I totally understand wanting to get everything just so. I have that issue too. I can't take a picture until the laundry is put away and the bed is made, etc. Okay, okay... I'll be more patient! So happy for you! Those kitchen counters will be the icing on the cake.

When we did our bathrooms which also meant shutting down 2 bedrooms, I carted several truckloads of stuff to Goodwill. No energy for CL. Then we packed the rest up into the garage. When unpacking came, I wasn't in the mood or didn't' love it or whatever. So much of it still sits in the garage.
