We took the epic leap over the weekend and put our current home on the market, the realtor came back on Wednesday and took pictures for their web site and we have our first showing Friday at 5:00 PM so here is to being homeless!! If anyone is just dying to see what my current house looks like here is the link .http://www.directsavingsrealestate.com/Harrisonburg/Virginia/Homes/Unnamed_Areas/Agent/Listing_57541643.html
And today we went and ordered our new house it took about 30 minutes to pick everything out. Here is the great thing about a mobile home you have about four or five choices for everything. Kitchen cabinets do you want oak, light oak, dark oak, cherry or pine. Counter tops Formica or solid surface, ok you have five choices of color for each. Want laminate flooring four colors to pick from three paint colors and vinyl siding four colors. I know that may seem limited but I see that as a good thing I don't care for trendy and I like neutral colors I hate going to Lowe's or Home Depot I usually become overwhelmed with all of the choices I don't need 3000 flooring options or kitchen cabinet choices then paint then the one million other things that you need to pick out when you are using standard construction. The other spectacular benefit to having limited choices is it eliminates the argument between Mark and I over what we like the color choices are not that far apart that they are hard to live with. He wanted the darker oak flooring I wanted the lighter so we went with darker. He wanted darker vinyl siding I wanted lighter we went with lighter. So after ordering a house we are still madly in love and not talking to a divorce attorney because we couldn't come to an agreement on the linoleum floor in the laundry room. I love simplicity.
