Okay, I’m back. Did you miss me? The past few days have been exhausting, to say the least. We spent Friday-Monday working on the house all day. We would get up, go to the house, work all day, make several trips to lowes and home depot (they started recognizing me!) and then come back to the condo and go to bed. We are so tired! But, we got a ton done! We had my in-laws, Jon and Connie, and sister-in-law Erin, over on Saturday to help out with painting. Here is what we did: painted the living room, family room, and master bedroom. We primed the kitchen but did not get it painted (mostly because we were so sick of painting, but also because I couldn’t decide on a color). Danny came over on Sunday and Monday to help the husband replace the locks on both of the doors, pull up the carpet in the living room and family room, and remove the built-in shelf in the laundry room (the shelf was at a bad height so it had to go…apparently it was really in there because by the time they got it down it looked like a wolverine had slashed up the walls!).






We got so much done, but still have a lot to do! We are planning on moving in this weekend. We have some friends who are going to help us out….wish us luck!
Looks like you got a lot done! Painting takes forever, doesn’t it? Always waaayyy longer than anticipated. Nice choice on the Gobi Desert, that is what we painted our master bath. Can’t wait to see it. I hope you figured out how to use the electric roller, it helps everything go faster. I am pretty sure Chris will still be helping you move on Saturday, but I have to work unfortunately (busy season). Keep up the good work and see you soon!
omg yay!! you have a house of your very own. looks amazing!
You are way more productive then I am with my place. I love the new carpet and paint. I think we might have the same stove.
Thanks for the update. Looks like a lot is getting done. I think you and Jon are becoming experienced homeowners real fast. Keep up the good work & Enjoy making your home the special place you want it to be.
It’s really starting to look great….I know how excited you must be. I can’t stand it that I am so far away. Please keep posting pictures! Enjoy move-in day and take good care of the little orange boys.
