Selling th House Part III

   This week-end we traveled up to Canby to check out a house.  It was built in the 70's, well maintained, nice location, even had a shop area, but it was not "the one".  The lot was larger then we want to maintain, but more importantly, the floor plan was not what we want.  The layout we are looking for involves no living room, but a large family room/dining area/kitchen all in one.  Eveyone wants to be near the food and the cook want to be near the action so this is the arrangement we are aiming for.  The plan is popular with newer homes, so looking at older homes is almost a waste of time.
   As long as we were giong north, I loaded the Prius with as many packed boxes as it would hold.  We rented a large storage unit in Canby to use until we find a home.  If our current house sells before we find another, we will store the everything in the storage unit until R and I complete our volunteer commitments at Tallac and Cape Blanco.  That means September.  It is a bit early, but we are planning just in case.
    Sunday, the 7th, our realtor, hosted an Open House, at our house.  I was concerned because the weather has been rainy and cold, but our agent said that she was busy the whole time.  R had made chocolate chip cookies to put out for the visitors and all but two were eaten so that was good.   Many viewers of the place and still no offers.   Patience, patience............
