Selling Our Home in CT!

-

Our primary residence in CT went on the market on Thursday, 4/3/25 and within hours our realtor received 10 calls! We have eight appointments for showings today from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm and two appointments on Sunday, 4/6/25 at 12 pm and 12:45 pm! Our realtor will text me throughout the day to provide updates. 

I finished working at around 4:45 pm. I work from home so I was able to jump right in to prepare the house for the weekend. My Hubby went up to NH earlier today. He took my pickup truck so he could use the trailer to bring the Polaris 4-wheeler with him. He also brought the plow for the Polaris side-by-side. Now all three of our Polaris’ are up in New Hampshire now at our son’s house. We have twin Polaris 4-wheelers plus the side-by-side. We have one more still here in CT; a Honda quad. It doesn’t have 4WD. Just rear wheel drive. It’s great for yard work. 

I have been preparing for quite some time for the house in CT to go on the market as our new construction in NH is nearing completion. Tonight, I spent ten hours finalizing everything! I finished all laundry so the hampers are empty. I ran the dishwasher so I could get all of the dishes put away. We have a dish drying rack that we keep next to the sink. I threw that in the dishwasher since there was plenty of room as I was running it with not many dishes. It’s not often that I run it when it’s barely full. So it was the perfect opportunity to wash the dish rack too. Later, I decided not to put it back next to the kitchen sink. I put it away in one of the cabinets for now. Last weekend Hubby and I packed up about 80% of the kitchen supplies so we now have plenty of cabinet space to store items during showings. I was able to get other items off the kitchen counters too! 

I fixed the closet doors in our spare bedroom and master bedroom. For years the one in the spare bedroom would not stay closed! The master bedroom wasn’t quite as bad but recently started getting worse. I figured out how to fix them! The stopper needed to be moved/adjusted! So simple! 

Staying closed now! Yay! 


Had to move the stopper a little closer to the door as it was too far away. Same with the master bedroom closet. 

I essentially did spring cleaning! It took me ten hours! I’m exhausted!

Catching Up: Wildlife

We have a couple of game cameras down at the bottom of the field. We totally enjoyed the wildlife that these cameras captured!  This cutie has been around since the fall after we cleared the field out back and got the grass growing! We call her Nibbles, as she loves nibbling on the grass!  I can always tell it’s Nibbles when I see the dark spot on her inner right rear leg!  We had so many deer during the winter rut season!  Meet Gaylord Faulker! The coolest buck around! After he shed his large antler at the end of the rut, Hubby found it! So cool! When you find sheds in the woods you don’t know the deer they came from. First time we actually know the deer that it came from! How cool is that.  Here’s his antler! If we could find his short antler, the package would be complete! Once the snow melts, I’ll be out there searching for it! It’s a tough one to find, though!  This was when he shed his large antler! The before and after photos!  Another before an...

Latest Photos!

My son and his family went by our house in New Hampshire and we FaceTimed so we could see the house!  We weren’t able to get up to New Hampshire this weekend as we have been busy packing here to prepare for our move. My daughter-in-law also took some photos and a video and sent them to us. Here they are!  The glass doors have been installed in the bathroom shower units! Here’s the upstairs bathroom!  Here’s the downstairs bathroom!  They made a little more progress with the great room ceiling! They have to cut and treat the boards before they hang them. I believe this past week our contractor focused more on board prep. Once dry after treating them, installing them will be pretty quick!  Looks like the ceiling in the larger of the two downstairs bedrooms is done! I think this completes this bedroom as far as hanging tongue and groove pine wallboards! They will eventually add trim at the joints and around the window and will hang the closet and entry doors! ...

Weekend Visit!

I went up to New Hampshire this weekend and took multiple photos! Great progress is being made with the house so it is ready for us to move into early June! In about one month we will be moving in! I just can’t believe it! It’s just too good to be true! Our dream of a log cabin is coming true! Having a mountain view, property on a mountain river and 12.55 acres is also a dream! But the best dream come true is living 1.5 miles up the road from my son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter! I will believe it on move in day! LOL! Oh, and another thing is that I get to keep my dream job too! While living here in eastern Connecticut, I have worked from home for a company in Rhode Island since August 2016, and I love my job! It was just approved on Thursday morning! Another dream is coming true! I know God has been helping me throughout all of this!  OK, time for photos!  This is my weathervane at my home in Connecticut:  As of yesterday afternoon, it is now behind my hom...
