An A for Effort

I wonder about people sometimes. In about 10 days, the house was made rent-ready, and we worked nearly around the clock to paint and clean and move and clear out life, re-setting toilets, fixing blinds, flooring and hanging lights. It was an ambitious amount of work, no doubt, and most of it was done by the time the new tenants arrived. And yes, I did get a complaint call there was some unfinished work and items left in the garage ... Ouch!

Life really is in the details. No matter how much the effort, that last day when you have to push past exhaustion to scratch the last 3 chores from the list is as important as all the big days prior. I hope Tim learned a valuable lesson about how finish work relates to the rest of the job.

The tenants offered for Tim to stay on a while if he'd like, but after seeing the house transformed with their stuff, it didn't feel like his space anymore. So he is off on another nomadic adventure in what I presume is Plan B. He's welcome here but subject to house rules.

That being said, thanks for all your hard work, kids. It was an A in my book.
