Selling the House

These days, when you sell your house, it's a good idea to have a consultant come in and tell you what cost-effective things you can do to increase sales appeal.

Some things are obvious, but it would not have occurred to me to take my elk head off the wall and put it in storage to keep from turning off some rich city folks who think all animals should die of old age and out of sight.

But, it makes sense. People who'd appreciate how well the antlers go with the cedar walls won't think less of the house because it isn't there, but seeing it would drive other folks right back out the door.

It would not have occurred to me to have the moss removed from the roof, either. I like moss, and the roof will outlast me, moss or not. The moss comes off.

Then there is the hardwood floor. Yep, gotta get that sanded and refinished...
