There were only a couple of exceptions to the "no holes" rule. And, I worked around them.<br /><br />But, I do think we are old school in our thinking about leaving things in great condition.

I've always patched and cleaned the floors as we leave a house. But the last two houses I moved into, that did not happen - dirty bathrooms, nails in walls and carpet that needed cleaning. Both from senior ladies who had cleaning ladies every week - guess they cancelled them before the move.<br /><br />As for the nail holes situation - I say take the job and patch the holes yourself when you take back your pieces (factor the time into your hourly rate) - strange that they think this is your responsibility. heather @ new house, new home, new lifehttp://www.newhousenewhomenewlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566328188814021961.post-35272280267968114722012-10-17T19:06:25.157-04:002012-10-17T19:06:25.157-04:00Patty, I wish everyone followed your style on prep...Patty, I wish everyone followed your style on prepping their home before they leave. I even used Old English on the floor from scratch marks a rocker made(not our doing) in a home we rented for vacation. The realtor always waives our deposit because she knows the house will look better after we leave. Are we old school?StagerLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16829069076265680195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-566328188814021961.post-58954975901585604612012-10-17T16:30:30.759-04:002012-10-17T16:30:30.759-04:00I would assume the same.

Really doesn't take long. <br />I also thoroughly clean the house, remove any scratches from wood flooring, clean the carpet, etc. I literally vacuum myself out the front door. The house never looks better!<br /><br />Patty Day @Pattys Epiphanieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799422773155306732noreply@blogger.com
