We bought a house! We signed the papers last Sunday, and have started working on it. There are several things that need changed or updated. So excited. We included a slideshow on here. Most of the pictures were taken with a cell phone, so they didn't turn out awesome. I need to take my camera over there and take more pics.
So far, we have painted and redone the living room. It looks nice, but it is super bright. I think we are going to change our decor a little.
Plumbing came out today, they are going to have to open walls and fix some pipes as there is bad pressure in the bathroom and kitchen. It goes out into the lines in the yard, galvanized. He said it would be Wednesday. Luckily, that was in our contract.
Heating also came out today, the house has a floor furnace. It stopped working yesterday and wouldn't kick on and stay on. We paid a co-pay, which is supposed to be reimbursed to us. It basically was dirty and needed cleaning out, now works fine. Mother in law and Step father in law replaced our thermostat in the house, last night. They have been a big help, especially SFIL. He has helped us paint, bug/bomb, move appliances, etc.
I tore off the wallpaper in the Master Bedroom while waiting for repair men to show. I am hoping to scrape it all down and clean good tomorrow. Hopefully, we will have it painted in the next few days.
We did go buy paint and supplies to paint front entry dining area and kitchen. It is a god awful lime green and brown right now, and that's gotta go! I chose a "apple" green which is more like a sage/celery mix. It is light/bright and airy looking, but will be more subtle than the current colors.
Hoping to also get the washer moved, (Dryer was replaced with a brand new gas dryer and already moved in) so I can at least go do laundry over there.
Front and back doors measured and ordered, waiting on those to come in.
Flooring guy is to come out this weekend or early next week.
We are going to start moving small things in after we paint and check out floors.
Whew! So much going on!
I worked earlier this week for a co-worker in exchange for her to work shifts at the end of the week. So I have seven days off, so excited to jump in and get things started on the house!
