The roommates are moving out. OK, I know I said that before… but this time I mean it?
Well, my husband and I thought they were moving out. They closed escrow on March 3rd. Made sense right? You own a home. You move into it.
Or not.
My brother and his wife (our roommates) have decided to remodel the home before moving into it – and it’s not a simple job either. They have moved load bearing walls, tore out the kitchen completely, moved a wall in the master bedroom, removed the fixtures in the master bathroom, and removed the floor coverings.
These things are kinda important to have put back together BEFORE moving in.
So, we still have roommates.
Knowing they ARE moving out sometime in the next 2-3 months makes taking their rent check pretty darn easy.
I’ll miss that check when it’s gone *cough* I mean, I’ll miss THEM when they are gone.

My husband and I considered having a room mate, but because we decided to remodel our master bedroom and bath, we are staying in the guest room now and don’t have the room for a roomie. The disadvantage is that we need to produce the cash to finish the remodel and that is going slow. In the meantime, we have a big portion of our house just sitting there empty with no progress.
