Hey, I thought the 5 to 6 am slot was mine! :D
I know it's a delicate balancing act, especially with kids, and particularly with the interiors. Yet we were struck by the fact that most of the houses we were looking at were on the market for 4-6 months. I also came to the realization that a lot of expensive improvements were going unnoticed because of a failure to address some simple, less expensive issues.
E.g., furball: Unfortunately, my wife's terribly allergic to cats (sorry Ymo... and I LOVE pets). Check that house off the list.
E.g., office obstacle course: hiding the condition of the molding, walls, outlets, closet space.
E.g., exterior pressure washing: Hard to figure out the condition of the brick. We saw four houses with loads of bird stains on the vinyl/siding. If the deck is a feature, then why not wash out the mold? Why is the deck peeling?
I am beginning to see the value of stagers.

Yeah, I have been making the push to 2500 in earnest the last day or so...
Where did the weekend go? I had a lovely Saturday (diving) and Sunday (Asado, cooked by a true Argentinean), and yet they seem like distant memories. It's only Tuesday!! Man, it's gonna be a long week. :(
Devildeac,
How did you post twice but maintain the same post count?

Earlier today I realized, sadly, that I can no longer name all the World Series Champions. I used to be able to but my memory pre-1940 has really gone south. So, here's today's challenge, without looking them up, help me fill in the blanks. Remember, nobody looks them up until we all give up.
Try to fill in the runner-ups too.
Also, if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely?)
