And by that, I mean literally, the walls. That is the only explanation I can come up with for what has become our new normal. Upon declaring that "This house no longer suits our family," the house has slowly begun to implode. On the glass have empty side, it appears to be giving us the finger. On the half full side, however, it is ensuring that the new owners will have lots of brand new, better than ever---certainly better than we ever treated ourselves---stuff. And you can't really put a price on that kind "do good" feeling. But if you could, it would definitely be in the thousands.
It started with the fence...and then it was the wiring for ceiling fixtures in various rooms, then the washing machine...and this morning our freezer crapped out. As I was reading to the kids tonight, a strong "lighter fluid" aroma came billowing down the hallway.
Obviously, not one for the story, the house decided to light itself on fire.
