Its been cool and dreary here lately, usual for fall. Toady its been raining all day and will probably rain all week. There are 3 weeks till Thanksgiving and it will probably rain till then.
Lan put a new started into the Metro yesterday and it seems to be running now, I will start driving to work in that so we can save the tranny in the Escape for winter.
Today we went to the Orting house
and delivered a washer and dryer that I picked up for free. Don said he needed to fix the plumbing for them & I said no, just leave them as they are & he actually did.
My big brother Jeff buried a Time Capsule out here 45+ years ago, I remember doing it. He put stuff in it like the front page of the news paper, a dollar or some coins, a few other things.
Earlier this week Mom & Heather dug for it and today we did again but didn't find it.
We did find LOTS of rusty nails, a few odds & ends and this piggy. The pig is now going to live here on our farm forever more.
We've decided to tentatively put it on the market in Mid January, after the holidays. That gives me more time to get the wording on the sales add better and to make sure we have ALL the photos we might need.
Here is what I have for the add so far but this is just parts & pieces, I need it to be perfectly worded to attract as many buyers as possible.
MOVE IN READY! Nestled on an easy to maintain city lot with mature trees and a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier, this home is clean and well cared for. With a simple 2 bed 1 bath floor plan to enjoy, it is perfect for the first time home buyer or to scale down and minimize.
The cozy living room leads to a spacious kitchen with fridge and a gas range, then into the utility room with Washer and Dryer (dryer can be electric or gas!)
In addition to the 918+ SF downstairs, there is an additional 700sf+/- bonus room upstairs.
The great town of Orting has all the necessary amenities within walking distance including groceries, restaurants, schools, city parks, skate park and fishing in either of the 2 rivers. The Rails-To-Trails Foothills Trail is literally steps out the front door.
There is ample room in the detached garage with a shop behind it, the fully fenced back yard boasts a nice covered deck with BBQ spot, and has enough room for a sizable garden with NICE valley dirt. The yard has mature trees and flower beds.
Home updates include fresh interior paint, vinyl windows, newer roof, bathroom was just refinished…
Sellers offer a $2,000 kickback for flooring so you can choose your own colors of carpet.
It is the responsibility of buyers to verify all info regarding this property.
We've taken a lot of photos and the house looks really good right now.
This is the house I grew up in and holds SO MANY memories for me. I had asked Mom to please sell me the house once before & she refused so I'm just going to help her sell it and be OK with it. The following photo isn't one I took but I'm going to use it in the add anyway
Those trees growing in the middle of the mountain view are in our yard! Mom has mentioned they should be cut down but we can let the new buyers do it. Heck, the new buyers might be a lawyer who tears down the entire house and puts in a nice office building.
