Over the next couple of months we’re going to change out the stucco for some brightly coloured HardiePlank siding, rip down the ugly rat caves (old garage and sheds), and give this home a whole new look.

Happy Friday!! I’m sitting in a Starbucks in Burnaby – near my home which we’re putting on the market next week. The painter is there right now getting it looking fresh and clean again. Next week we’re going to be staging the home. We’ll share some pics and stories from that as it’s the first time we’ve actually hired a stager.
