Same. Altho, I'd rather have the snow than mud. I didn't permit the use of salt - I just made sure the walk and driveway was clear so I wouldn't have to worry about the mess.
We actually made people take their shoes off at the door.
It was a pain but no matter what, you still got stuff tracked in.
It took us almost 5 months and it was not a pleasent experience.
The worst part was when realtors brought an older person to the house. We lived in a townhouse with stairs...
One person said that the house was too clean and didn't have alot of personal things around. My fiancee was so mad she wanted to kill.
