I don't see how 12 inch separation will make much of a difference shade-wise but will have an effect on air circulation which is what we do want.

I would go through an agency just because there's so much potential for something to go wrong, and with international laws, so much mess if things do go wrong. If you're trying to help the girl find summer employment, you could check with a daycare center or pre-school, put the word out with your friends, or even call the high school to see if they've fielded calls from parents looking for summer sitters. Of course, that tends to make you a little bit responsible for finding a 'nice' family to au pair for...

My experience posting real estate on CL was: 1) Got 95% of inquiries (calls, emails) within 36 hours of posting the ad. 2) I learned to repost every few days to get more interest and each time I reposted that calls/emails would revive. I would delete the prior post and then create a new one. 3) Always post several photos 4) Put your location and price on subject line plus top selling feature if it fits (such as waterfront or 5 acres or 1 year old or top school district) 5) Dont have to specifiy FSBO in the subject line and don't have to make it the 1st few sentences of an ad either. Just focus on marketing the property and don't have to put FSBO front and center. Dont hide it, but don't make it more important that the home and price and location and top selling features of the property.
