Everything Must GO!

We just received word yesterday that our house is going to the chopping block, I mean auction block, on April 9th. As you can imagine from the title, we are going to be selling the house off from the inside out before the bank gets a chance to come and take it back. That means a lot more Craigslisting and maybe even a little demolition depending on what people are interested in. As far as I am concerned they can rip the floors up from this place, strip out the cabinets and remove all the fixtures – our mortgage company deserves it. What kind of corrupt company raises your mortgage payments by $1000 over the course of a few months?

I am sure you already have your own answer to that question, but in my book they are the kind of people that are deserving of the gutted out house they will be repossessing from us in April. I am thinking of maybe having some sort of foreclosure party where interested parties can come, bring some beverages and remove some doors. We can play darts on the walls, baseball in the kitchen and make the stairs into a fun water slide. After the public auction, depending on whether or not someone actually buys this place or the bank takes it back (I am about 99.9% sure the bank will be getting it back) we will have anywhere between 16-21 days to vacate the premises, plenty of time to throw a blowout going away party. I am hoping that maybe they will even go the extra mile and have the police come and serve us with an eviction notice after the sale is final, won’t that be fun?!

It will be a little sad saying goodbye to the house, this is Guapo and Tucker’s first home and I know they will miss the Amazonian backyard. Truth is, the place has just become too much for two people to take care of, and god knows we do not need all this space. We spend the majority of our time sitting at our desks, back to back, in a room that is about 12′x12′ adjacent to the kitchen. You thought I was kidding – see picture.

We will be moving into the place where Mounds rents a room and all of the puppies will be together again, in a new yard, with new things to sniff out. Mounds really came through on this one for us and we owe him big time for his help; he has no idea how much his offer puts my mind at ease – I think its a main reason why I have been so productive this past week despite all of the guest distractions.

I am really looking forward to moving and being closer to the beaches and downtown area. The new place is actually pretty amazing with a hot tub that overlooks the bay, new kitchen, washer dryer, month to month lease, is accepting of the dogs and lots of common space to work/for the dogs to relax. It also helps to be moving in with someone you have already known for about 10 years with the possibility of another friend moving in within the next few months. I know this is all going to work out for the best, and so what if Butterfinger’s credit is going to be bad for awhile, the way the economy is headed credit is not going to mean too much in a few months anyway!

Anyone in the area – let me know if you are interested in any appliances or anything:)
