Looked at the house

So, looked at the house again. Definitely needs work. More than I remembered actually.

1) paint whole bloody inside - it's taupe and blood red. 20 gallons of Navaho white +labor, maybe $1000 if I'm lucky

2) Garage door is cracked, warped and basically AFU. Probably another $1000

3) Grade the lot - $1000. Already have a quote.

4) Countertops- Might be under $1500 as granite has come down, and the kitchen is not that large. Of course we will need a new sink as well *sigh*

5) plus lots of little stuff that is going to add up.

So, probably 5-grand worth of repairs just to make the place liveable.

Then I'm going to need the fencing fixed, and moved, trees planted, concrete poured...

Hey now, you like bringing trees home from those big box stores, so I don't think tree planting should go on your all this shit to do list ;-).

And you knew we would need to grade the lot and get a new garage door and counter tops when we put in our bid.
