I realize that many of you warm climate stagers don't understand the challenges that we go through. Yes I do know that you are having a cold snap. Gee what is it this week 60 degrees :-)
Last weekend we de-staged a home, during a snow storm, in Madison Heights. That means getting the supplies damp, slipping and sliding on the ice walks and driveways. Try loading your car when there is no purchase for your shoes on the ground. Right after that we had to stage another vacant in Royal Oak.
Understand how complicated it is by understanding that vacant house have to be winterized. That means turning off the water and putting anti-freeze in all the pipes and TOILETS. We women have to know where the nearest fast food restaurant, with facilities, is.
There are no utilities when the house is a foreclosure and there is no one to pay the utility bills. That means no heat and no electricity.
This is like going back 100 years and staging a log cabin except there is no wood burning stove.
What damage can happen to our furniture and linens in this cold damp climate?
What happens to us trying to unpack boxes with gloves on our hands?
Oh, mother nature, please let this be a short winter.
