Living in a different house there are silly things I miss and now realize I took for granted. So here is my list....
My huge dish washer
DEEP sink.
Glass top stove
Glass shower (shower curtains are creepy when they touch your leg)
TV! Mark said I wouldn't last and he is right. We left the TV because it would cost another $300 to move it, a third of what we paid for it. Plasma I guess is the issue? We didn't have room in the van. Our plan is to get it later during a visit, unless the new owners just have to have it. It is one of the only things left in the house.
Air conditioning that works. Air guy is coming today, but we are now at the mercy of a landlord and had to wait a week. So, owning and living in my own house is on the list.
Living in a different house has its advantages too. I now have a greater list of things to look for in a new house that I might not have thought of before.
Bathroom door can not open toward the tub and block the view of the tub! The tub is to the left of the door and the door opens to the left so you have to shut the door to see kids in the tub. Annoying! I feel so trapped during bath time.
Indoor laundry is not an option anymore. I would really like to have an indoor laundry room.
A real pantry is also a nice feature.
Lots are huge up here. It is nice to be further away from your neighbors barking dogs. What is it with me and the neighbors dogs. Is it just in the stars for me to live next to bad dog owners?
We are going to look at houses this weekend. Mark really wants to get the process started. We are picky (shocking I know) and this could really take some time. If we do find something we can't live without we can take the price of the house into consideration with selling ours. Price of living is less here so we could sell for less and still get a bigger house. Not ideal, but an option. I really wish our house would sell soon. It has only been 3 1/2 month and we have had a couple of low offers, but I need to be patient. We hope to sell by the end of June so we are in the school district we want to be in for next school year.
