I Guess We're Really Going Now . . .

Good news - we have rented our house for the year we'll be away! This provides huge peace of mind for Ted and me, knowing our home will be in good hands and our mortgage will be covered. We used a website called Sabbatical Homes, which has an excellent reputation among the academic community. We first heard of it from some visiting professors who have been renting on our street. Our house is no longer on the site but every inquiry we received was appropriate and from good prospective tenants. We advertised in a few other places but it was Sabbatical Homes that generated the most traffic for us. Our tenants want the home fully furnished, which is again great news for us. We are doing some work in the basement now, including putting in a cedar closet in a large space under the stairs that will house all our clothes while we're away. We are also finishing the basement including another bathroom with a shower. So lots to do . . . but having our house rented is a huge check off "The List".
