So who knew that playing in the mud as a kid would pay off one day?

It's spring time in Texas and it has rained here for the entire last week. I sell new home construction and I have a few beautiful, finished homes to sell, but I also have several at various stages of construction.

I did some fact finding with my prospect and her Realtor and found the perfect home that fit her needs. It has sheetrock, but there is no driveway or lead walk into the home. We knew it was going to be a challenge when we drove up, but decided to "dig in." I took my first step onto the mud and did okay; by my third step mud was squishing between my toes ... ewww. I fought past the feeling and started walking toward the house. We have clay here and it just stuck to my shoes making them heavier and heavier! I felt like Frankenstein.

I made it to the garage without falling on my face, which was a miracle in itself! I found some scrap MDF boards cut in stepping stone sizes and threw them towards the curb. The Realtor and I standing in the mud created a safe path to the house and a way back for us later. We have such glamorous jobs sometimes!

We all got in the house, looked around, answered some questions, and determined it was indeed the right house for her. Thank goodness! I would have hated to ruin my favorite pair of shoes for nothing! We went back to the model with our shoes wrapped in extra wrapping material from the garage. Even my feet were caked in mud. We sat down barefoot and wrote up her contract.

I have to admit that it was an adventure and we all found some humor in the situation! Needless to say. I'll be bugging my builder for some kind of temporary walk for next time!  

PS-I'm going to invest in some cute wellington boots!
