It was nice to get in the house last night and have time to really see what we have gotten ourselves into. I'm sure at every turn we will find other amazing finds. Like gum and scotch tape that has been painted over, gaps in wood floor and doors that don't open or really close. At some point we also need to tackle the glass in the backyard from the busted shed windows, so that the pups won't hurt their toes when the come over on moving day. I was too tired to have a conversation with Moose and Harry about the move last night... its on my list to do for the weekend.
I want to spend all my time at the new house and get as much work as possible done, but we are not done packing at the ashland house so that needs to occur as well (well christy did pack the kitchen in a packing frenzy and then was wondering where the bowls and spatulas were) I call that packing induced amnesia...pretty funny stuff.
Today the contractor man is at the house JACKING it up LOL so that he can replace the sill in the left corner that had previous wood destroying bug action on it. I'm sure that the sellers love the fact that they had to pay that $600 but I am just happy it is being taken care of. He said that we made a smart choice and that we have a really nice house, so even the paint is hideous and I have pulled out 100 nails I am glad this was our pick!
Mission of the day is to go at lunch and count how many outlet covers we need to replace in the whole house because surprise surprise all of them have been painted over OH I would say at least five times. :)
We also got our first piece of new furniture yesterday a pub set table with bench seating stools and I am so excited to get the floors and everything done and painted so we can unpack that and see how it looks
challenge of tomorrow is to figure out what paint to use, I will have to call my brother the home depot paint expert to see what he thinks would be a good choice
