Free furniture: Last chance on sofa #1

Here's an update on the free furniture giveaway for fans of this blog:

Sofa #2 has a new home and its proud new owner told me this morning he "loves it".

Sofa #1, however, remains available.  There was an interested party, but it turned out this piece was too big for the space available.  More accurate measurements put it's length at over 7 feet and depth at 39 inches or so.  There is no question as to its comfort.  If you would like this sofa, just comment below and we'll talk.

Free Furniture for fans of my blog

We've got two used but worthy sofas that are free to one or two lucky fans of the Dirkmonster blog.

Sofa #1, seen here in the garage where the car should be, is still in pretty good shape, and is great for naps.  It's about 6.5-7 feet long.  There is an undetermined amount of treasure in coins hidden within this piece.

Sofa #2, seen here with a red brick backdrop, was originally bought from Sprintz and is also long enough for a snooze - I'd say about 7 feet in length.  It has served us well.  It's been spending it's Golden Years on our screened in porch.  Thus, it has had limited exposure to the elements, but has held up well.  It has had a re-stuffing job so is quite comfortable.

If you would like one or both of these sofas free of charge, please comment to this post before the clock strikes midnight on Friday, September 19th.  Your comment should include details of your qualifications in the following areas:

1. Which sofa(s) you are interested in having for your very own and why.
2. How you plan on picking them up from my house in Brentwood, TN before 7pm on Sunday, September 21.
3. The biggest reason why you're such a fan of the Dirkmonster blog.
4. A way to contact you.

The Dirkmonster, within his sole discretion (read: Lyn decides), will contact the lucky winner on Saturday morning at which time arrangements must be made to pick up the item(s).

Our hope is that these sofas that have served us so well will find good homes. NO warranties, express or implied are offered in conjunction with this dual effort to free up space and drive traffic.

Bellevue Pizza Perfect

As we sell our house and get ready to move, I'm thinking about the things I've enjoyed about Bellevue, TN over the years.

One of those things is our community's Pizza Perfect.  It is, well, your perfect neighborhood casual pizza parlor slash kids entertainment place.  As a pizza fanatic, I can say that Perfect makes a pie that ranks among the city's best.  There may be only one other pizza I prefer but it sure isn't around the corner.

My kids like it for the game room where they have a selection of racin' and shootin' video games.  The only thing is there is no beer allowed in the game room :(

Pizza Hut, Dominos and Papa John's are terrible in comparison.  And you just can't get the pleasure out of a corporate giant that you do in a joint where they know your name and are glad to see you everytime.

Bellevue Tuliptree Lane home is on the market

Yesterday evening at 5:30 our house was listed for sale.  At 6:15 our agent called and asked if it could be shown at 7!  We made a mad dash out of the house to Pizza Perfect where Ross bled me for $20 in quarters in the game room.  At least he was happy.

Someone else will be seeing the home this evening at 7.  I'm glad there are people interested in seeing the place. Nine years and two kids later, we know what a great place it has been to live.

Shameless plug: If you're interested in the home on Tuliptree Lane in Bellevue (southwest of Nashville), please contact Eve Barbera at 615-495-1718.

Leaving Tuliptree Lane

Wow - This happened fast!

Lyn and I put a contract on a new house this week and will be putting our home, on Tuliptree Lane (Bellevue, TN), on the market within the next week.

We have been in this house for 9 years.  It was the first house we ever bought together and the one we brought home both our children to.  It is a lovely house that has been a blessing.  Even more, our neighbors, including John, Tina and Ethan are the hardest part of going.  But then again, it's just across town in Brentwood, TN.

It's going to be quite a job packing up after 9 years.  Most of our possessions are kids' toys - but the kids aren't making any promises of helping ;)

Moving tips? We want 'em. Please.
