Comment by Four Pillars — Aug 10th 2009 @ 12:03 amThere are a lot of excellent articles in that list… thanks for including mine.
My wife doesn’t go back to the germ factory until the beginning of September… that’s how we roll in Michigan. Usually it’s the end of August, just the way the calendar fell this year.

Comment by Brandon — Aug 10th 2009 @ 11:18 amWow, beginning of August is pretty early. It’s probably a little more peaceful at home now that they’re back at school : ) thanks for mentioning the post on the costs of selling your home.
