I find that amusing considering I won't be doing half that when I have all my family over for Thanksgiving.
We did the same thing!
Spent a week making sure each room was spotless and and small dents and dings on the walls were sorted etc.
The appraiser was there for 10 minutes and barely stuck her head in each room.
Yeah, I was just telling Cary we need to have a party or something to show off how clean our house is before we mess it all up again.
The appraiser spent about 45 minutes total at our place, of which about 15 were inside - the rest were spent outside measuring the dimensions of the house and the shop, plus I made sure he made note of the pergola and other yard features.
He was a nice enough fellow, and he seemed to like the house, so hopefully it's going to come out good. Now we just wait and see, which is the hardest part for me...
