Well the first of the spring showers are starting here in Wayne County and Oakland County. Now is the time to get started with the spring clean up. Clean the gutters, wash the windows, thatch the lawn, remove all the dead branches. You can loosen up the soil where ever you don't have bulbs planted. Remove all your dead plant material. Number one thing to do is check your fire alarms and replace the batteries now. If you have a carbon monoxide detector, or a radon detector change those batteries too. If it is a nice day open your windows and air out your house. Change your furnance filter and get ready to uncover your air conditioner.
One of the things I see many people do when they sell their house is to get it into tip top condition. They sometimes paint or remodel right before they sell. They put it off for years and then do it right before they move.
Why don't you enjoy the freshly painted room, or the remodeling yourself? You should use and enjoy something that you want to do or have to do before you sell. A remodeling job (even a small one) makes you feel better about your house. Simple things such as fixing the door knob, painting the kitchen, or putting new carpet in the family room makes you feel better. Do it if you can afford it.
Take the time to teach your kids to do the simple things. Teach them to paint. Give them the closet to do. How else are they going to learn if not from you. Be their mentor. Even if it is an hour of help, they are learning. Make it fun, maybe even say let's fix this and then go to putt-putt golf. Get involved with your kids.
