Clean House!

When we bought our house last year, interest rates had just gone up some and then they came back down this year.  We decided to refinance since we plan on living here for a long time, so we had to have an appraisal.  Because of the appraisal we had to make sure the house was really clean.  With all of the little projects we did over the year, the value of our house went up about 60,000.  We did not put in nearly that much, so our sweat equity was worth it!
