Both bathrooms needed to have the floors tiled and one needed a new shower.
We had contracted with an outside company, James Estate Services, to do the estate sale, below they are working on our garage.
During the sale the garage was lined with two more rows of tables full of guy goodies. Each room of the house was lined with tables too. This is the morning after the three day sale.
After the sale ended, our estate sale folks offered the opportunity of a buy-out of the rest of the stuff in the house. Two young guys came in with an acceptable offer, so they took almost 99% of the remaining unsold items. So then we sorted the remaining 1% into two areas, trash or donate.
Sacramento County provided free of charge a once a year trash pickup of 8 cu yards. Our trash pile was 24 cu yards so we were charged $50 extra dollars, what a deal. The photo below shows only about 1/3 of our original pile.
The county annual pickup includes TV’s too, and we had one small one for pickup. So this huge truck come with a crane on top and loaded our TV. Good to see our tax dollars at work!
As I am writing this we are now two weeks after the sale, the house is empty, house cleaned and carpets cleaned. All jobs except three are done and those will be done by mid week. The jobs remaining are to replace the oven timer (had to order one in), paint the roof vent, and make sure the repaired sink leak is fixed.
Best of all the house is listed.
