It was totally worth putting in the extra money of updating the house. I know a lot of people hesitate to do it, but we did it and had 8 offers in 4 days and it went over asking price, so we got the money back we put into it updating prior to sale.

Selling a home, buying a place to live, moving etc. I had it all planed. I figured, it was almost ten years ago. I figured six months to sell. It sold in two days, full price and a cash deal. Great, just not as I had planed. Finding a mover. I was still packing while they were loading the moving truck. Funny now. The moving guys. The salesman for the moving company told us they only use company people. I did a beautiful careful job painting the rail going to our second floor. The moving guys, they may have been company employees, they were nice guys but they had no idea how to move stuff.
My armoire. Like most large furniture, comes apart for moving. They tried to move it in one piece and discovered it could not make the turn at the top of the stairs. They had to carry it back, damaging my beautiful paint job AND THE FURNITURE to then take it apart. It was a long distance move. Arrival in the villages, a new home not a resale.
Same driver but different crew doing the unload. On this end. Same piece of furniture.
On this end the crew dropped it through the bedroom wall.
An ADVENTURE.
