Once my wife and I began making a considerable amount of money, we started looking for a house along the waterfront.
We spent two years touring every property for sale in our preferred neighborhood.
We wanted a house set higher than the water level to avoid flooding. It was important to me to have at least a two-car garage. My wife was hoping for a spacious kitchen. We finally found the perfect house. The property includes five bathrooms, a boat dock, swimming pool and a tennis court. It’s absolutely gorgeous and provides nearly four thousand square feet of living space. There are fourteen sinks in the house. When we initially moved in, we tried to keep up with everything ourselves. We soon learned that the upkeep of such a large property requires constant labor and a tremendous amount of time. While we like to work in the gardens and tackle some minor remodeling projects, we don’t want to spend all our free time cleaning. We started by employing a lawn care company to handle the regular mowing and tree trimming. We then selected a company to provide swimming pool maintenance. Hiring a professional cleaning company was a smart decision. We have a cleaning crew go through the house every week. They make sure all of the tubs, toilets and sinks are freshly scrubbed. They wipe and disinfect surfaces, mop the floors and vacuum. The bigger jobs, such as washing windows and cleaning out the inside of the oven, get divided up and accomplished gradually. It is such a relief to arrive home from work and step inside a house that looks and smells clean.
