An Open Letter To Potential Owners of My House

We just put our house on the market. 

Here's a link to the show our realtor put together but I thought I'd also share a couple of tidbits you won't find on the MLS::)



It gets hot in the garage.  Really hot.  Do not store food there unless you would like to be able to eat warm spagettios without heating them in the microwave.

For optimal internet awesomeness your best bet is to run a wireless router from the upstairs bedroom.  For a full price offer I will gladly leave my wireless network intact.  It is named 3Princesses thanks to my sweet Bro-in-Law.

Swallows will want to raise babies on the front porch.  It's very cute to see them emerge from the nest.  It's less cute to clean up their poop.  

If you ever find a stray cat in your garage and you know the garage door was never opened it probably got in from the neighbors garage though the ceiling.

The screen in the master bedroom window is minimally bent.  This is because one day I had to climb the fence, onto the roof and break into the house.  I left for a run and didn't put a key in my pocket.  There is now a keypad on the garage door.

The nameplate on the front door says Barnett.  My last name is not Barnett.   The previous owner also was not Barnett.   The Barnett in question is a sweet woman who lived here 2 owners ago and who now lives in an end unit across the street.  Her name is not Barnett anymore either.

I will end with one of the things I love best about the house - There is a large jetted tub in the bathroom with a skylight above it.  There is nothing better than pouring hot bath when it's raining out side and listening to the pat-a-pat of the rain on the sky-light.  For an even better effect you can open the windows and get the smell of the rain and a cool breeze.
