The Joys of FSBO

Well, the house is finally for sale. It took a little work, and there's still more to do, but its finally on the market. We're on a deadline, but we've decided to try to sell it ourselves for a while before calling an agent. That whole 6% doesn't sound like much until you really do the math.... Take a peek a the other website we created about the house if you'd like.

One exciting moment came when we were vacuuming the kitchen the night before the appraiser came. Everyone knows that golden retrievers shed, but when we moved one key piece of furniture in the kitchen during vacuuming, we stumbled across something that was nothing short of amazing:

I named them Fred and Kareem.

Now, the picture doesn't do them justice. To begin with, this picture was taken moments after the beast underwent mitosis and split into two. Even then, they were simply jinormous. I actually jumped back when I saw them, thinking something was loose in the house. Then for some reason my mind jumped straight to the muppets.

When my wife saw them, she was none too pleased. In fact, I captured her reaction, which you may also recognize from such classics as "The Dog Just Took a Whiz in the Garage" and "My Husband and His Uncontrollable Flatulence."

Anyway, at the end of the day, the kitchen was cleaned and in tidy shape for the appraiser. I think Nash actually ended up eating Fred and Kareem before Melissa got to them with the vacuum. Good dog.

So there you go. Whoever said you couldn't blog about nothing?
