House listed on Zillow.com

I listed the house on Zillow.com.  We haven't listed the house on MLS yet, but we have been getting steady traffic from people driving past that see for sale sign.  Here's the zillow link:

Part 24 - Deck

The deck is done.  The steps off the corner of the deck turned out great.

Part 23 - For Sale By Owner

We officially put up the for sale sign today.  The project has gone incredibly well, and so far we have gotten rave reviews from the people that have looked at it.  Hopefully we'll be able to match the house up with the right buyer.

There are still a few items that we need to be finished, but we are getting very close.  Carpet, garage slab and deck are the next items on the list.  Here are some updated photos:

The cherry mantel turned out wonderful.  It's a perfect match with the kitchen cabinets, and it ties the two rooms together nicely.  Linda did a great job of matching the stain.

We plan to paint the front door to match the soffit.  The lovely door ramp will soon be replaced by a wrap-around deck :)


We now have kitchen and bathroom fixtures.  We've had running water outside for weeks, but we still need to hook up the water inside.
The cat-5 patch panel is installed in the hallway closet.  The house is very media friendly.  We wired it for ethernet and TV, and ran conduit to the future TV above the fireplace.

All of the closest in the house now have shelves.  The photo above is a shot of the pantry.

The pine doors are varnished and they look incredible.  It gives the house a very warm feeling.
