No one "should" have Bermuda. Bermuda "should" be killed with fire and holy water. (My opinion, lol.) I've spent 4 years battling Bermuda trying to give some Turf Type Tall Fescue (TTTF) a fighting chance against the evil devilgrass. That's countless hours, a couple hundred pounds of seed, fertilizer, who knows how many gallons of water, and (as of this spring), some chemical concoctions that make my neighbors think I'm cooking meth. 'round here the Bermuda is still dormant⦠but it's coming⦠soon⦠creeping over a flower bed border near you⦠lol.

We don't necessarily think the market will improve in spring. We do know that in our area there's many many homes on the market, and not much moving. As susanelewis said, it appears, as predicted, that the home buyers credit sucked all the buyers out of the market for the rest of the year. From what we've seen in our area, not a lot of new stock goes on the market in the winter, and in fact many listings get put on hold. That's certainly the case in our suburban/family area. Also, not many folks want to pull the kids from school mid-year and move furniture thru 2 feet of snow. (We certainly don't!) Unless they really really have to. Otherwise, the "move up" buyers will act on convenience. We're hoping that if we relist in early spring we can be at the head of the spring buying surge, if that happens. Might be easier to get noticed when/if there's less stock on the market, and people are starting to plan their summer moves.

For our new build, the KD measured for cabinets before the drywall went in. She measured stud to stud and then just allowed for the 1/2 inch of drywall where necessary. Perfect fit. Of course, they didn't template for the counter until after the cabinets were installed. In a remodel It might be wise to wait for walls cause ya never know what might come up.
