I am spending some time at our second home. It is a tiny cabin in Gilbertsville New York. The ride from our home in Ulster County takes about 2 1/2 hours.

ulster county ny: Advice for Selling Your Home- Part 2- The Kitchen is the Heart of the Home
- 05/25/08 10:36 PM
A fresh and clean kitchen matters-

Be sure the sink is empty- No dirty dishes- and garbage disposal if fresh.
Check the floors. Sweep and mop when necessary.
It is a … (0 comments)
