Another obstacle or a blessing in disguise?

I learned (unofficially, by snooping, but I will be informed formally in a few weeks) that my current full time job of 8 years is being cut back to part time.  I will lose 50% of my hours and pay, and the boss will suggest I work from home instead of the office.

Obstacle because whatever $$ I have saved up to fix the house to put on the market may need to be used towards paying bills if I can't come up with supplemental income.

Blessing because I started a business a few years ago which I have really not pursued because of time constraints (www.AZAdminSolutions.com).  My best case scenario when we sold and bought the RV was that I would not really quit my job but offer my services as a client to my boss.  By cutting my hours back, it (1) gives me the time I need to move full steam ahead with my business and (2) prove that I can do the work from anywhere there's an internet connection.

I guess time will tell.....

Another baby step finished!

Kitchen cabinets look shiny and new!  Downstairs large room is now an official bedroom with a closet (we just need to add the hardware inside).

We have the money set aside for the upstairs bedrooms now; it's now a matter of finding the time to clean out the rooms so the contractor can easily work around the furniture.  I wish I wasn't so darn tired when I get home from work.  In theory, we can get this done much faster if I did this after coming home, making and cleaning up after dinner and before bed.  For now, we've been leaving all the work for a Sunday (observe the Sabbath on Saturday, so can't work then).

Motivate... motivate... motivate....

Another step forward!

Contractor comes tomorrow and will be doing a bunch of work.  We have the money now to put the flooring down in the bedrooms - it's proving to be a bigger challenge cleaning out the rooms!!!  But there's still plenty of work for him to do.

We're trying really, really hard to make it a goal to put the house on the market by this spring.  I know, we've been saying that since we started the blog 3 years ago.. but it's still the PLAN, not the DREAM!
