Parrot on a PorchA Journey Toward the Little Mansion Dream

Home or house moving, undoubtedly, is one daunting task. It is truly stressful especially when you have been living in there and being accustomed to it for a long period of time.  But personally and base on my own experience, the actual home moving where in you have to pack, pool together and fit all stuff in a moving truck is what’s more stressful and exhausting.  Good organizing and management skills are required to make sure things and everything else run smoothly as planned.

Ideally, they say, house move planning and the countdown should begin at least six weeks before you move home. Preparations include canvassing and booking a Moving Company, notification of the utility companies of your moving date and arranging electricity, gas and water meter readings on your old and new property and also the TV, telephone and internet connections. And of course, packing stuff into bags and boxes segregating accordingly (breakables, clothing, etc).

But come to think of it, house moving should not be stressing that bad.  In fact, certain moving companies perfectly understand the hassle one undergoes through when moving that’s why Humboldt Storage and Moving emphasizes their role as Stress Removers.  Their team of professional, trained, efficient and service-oriented move coordinators and crew members take care everything even the smallest detail that the client shouldn’t be worrying about.  They are smart, trusted and capable, emphatic and they take extra care of one’s things as if their own.  After all, they exist because as their tagline says, they want their clients to just “relax..and get moving”.

I just know how difficult it is to hunt for the perfect house for your family as that’s what we went through last year. It is a life long investment and requires huge amount of resources so it’s not like you’re just shopping for an apparel in a mall that you can take home immediately and accomplish in just one day. It takes a lot of time, patience, and leads and contacts for you to be able to find the Perfect One. In our experience last year, it took us about six months of rigorous hunting and a number of ocular visits before we finally “met” our Little Mansion. We’re fortunate that we met a reliable (and flexible) developer who assisted us thoroughly in our housing needs.

In the US, there are various homes for sale in austin that are taken care of by a reputable real estate company, the Goldwasser Real Estate. They have been in the business for quite some time now and they continue to expertly and professionally provide the needs of those who wish to find the perfect austin real estate for them. Whether it be buying home, austin home search or selling property activities, they are the team of elite agents to trust in making sure you get the value of your money (buy) or your property (sell).

I’m still having second thoughts whether we’d install carpets in the living room and in the master’s bedroom.  As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up in an almost fully carpeted home in my parent’s house in Makati.  And I think, that’s where I got my weird preferred feet sole sensation.  Whenever I’m seated in a stationary position as when I’m watching the TV or when I’m in front of my laptop and working for a long period, my soles are deeply elated when they are relaxed on a carpeted flooring.  I don’t know but the strokes of my feet on the rough sensation of the carpet gives me a different high.

I would have asked the husband a long time ago to install even just a small dimensioned carpet in the abovementioned areas of Little Mansion, since, they also make perfect accents to the home interiors.  However, I’m stopped by Asher’s asthma.  His doctor warned me before to as much as possible keep him away from allergens that could trigger his respiratory allergies and asthma.  Carpet is known to trap and harbor dust mites and other harmful particles and air impurities.  Now if only we have an affordable, local counterpart of Absolute Carpet Care Inc, a carpet care authority in Virginia that does impressive carpet cleaning Falls Church VA, then I wouldn’t have a problem.  Setting regular cleaning appointments would them could really keep the carpet from harboring such allergens, maintains the carpet thoroughly clean and presentable.  I wonder if the Electrolux Men still exist up to date.

Acquiring our dear Little Mansion is truly a dream come true for us.  The road leading to this ultimate dream was not easy.  In fact, we’ve encountered many obstacles and hardship along the way.  But thankfully, we were able to overcome all those because of determination, persistence, discipline, self-control (on spending and shopping), faith and of course, with the support of everyone around us.

Having been living in the metropolis all my life, I’ve always wondered how it feels like to live in a house by the lake.  Looks like it feels so relaxing and soothing just by looking at the magnificent view of the lake by the porch or window.  Then the activities are endless.  The whole family has an instant access to go swimming, skiing, kayaking and fishing.  Communing with nature has never been that easy.  This also reminds me of my favorite movie The Notebook.  I love the lake scene where Noah and Allie were sailing on a swan-filled part then she realizes that she’s still in love with him.  Just the perfect setting for a romantic scene.

I was browsing these new homes for sale Virginia at Fawn Lake’s website and came to know that they have lakefront properties.  It really must be nice to own a property there and live in a laid back setting.
