Cleanup Day

This day is going to be a fun but work as well. My two daughters and Theresa will be giving our old house the once over before the new owners take possession. The move gave the house a rather dismal look as four men with dirty boots traveled over the floors numerous times and left.

It was surprising just how many places in the empty house needed some care. The bathrooms and kitchen looked great after work put in by the girls. It was little consequence that the new owners were about to do a make over and the floors were to be replaced.As a matter of fact all the work completed was in vain as the contractors were about to completely renovate this building.

As we completed the cleanup and left the house for the second last time we were saddened to know that the house which was our home for sixteen years was to become a far different place and the dream home for strangers.We tried to imagine how the changes were to become the new house but the owners had little trouble describing the changes.

We were so busy with our own new place that 1229 Falgarwood was just a house now and not our home but we wanted to hand it over to the new owners in the best possible shape. After the work was completed we went out and had a great lunch and never mentioned the house as we had closure and instead talked about all the work we had to complete to make Itabashi Way our new home.
