sure

well... we had a home inspection yesterday at this second house, and everything went well so we get to move forward :) it's pretty exciting.

last night i posted an ad on kijiji for our current living space and received several inquiries by noon this morning. we have two separate people coming to see it tomorrow. funnily enough, it didn't occur to me that people would be coming to see our house, so it needs to be clean and tidy. like, i knew they would, but i forgot that that literally means them coming into our house and looking around. so i spent all evening tidying and scrubbing in ways and places long neglected. it was good though. i feel ready-ish.

we've been landlords for several years, but have never had to go through the process of meeting potential tenants and choosing people. nor have we ever had to prepare a lease. thankfully brendan found a build-a-lease-agreement website that did it all for us, we just had to click the appropriate boxes.

i hope this is a smooth process. it's stressful. we have a lot to do in the next few months and a lot of expenses. i'm kind of looking forward to mid-september when it's all done. but i don't want to wish away this significant time.
