I feel like this week I should have fun stuff to say. We're moving! A house! Yay!! However, I've been inflicted with Pink eye in both eyes, and what I'm hoping isn't Strep throat. So, I seem to be moving slowly. I am unable to go out and run the errands I need to finish getting this place packed up. I am however glad I took initiative and called Avista and Frontier yesterday, because today I can barely talk due to pain. I am also thankful for the internet, I was able to go ahead and give our new address to Macy's, Old Navy, our bank Credit Card, and I think our bank statements, though I'll probably go into the bank and make sure it stuck.
A few unexpected twists have also occurred. We were told that since both bedrooms had hardwood floors, and taking in account the year of the house (which I don't know) that the living and dining room should have hardwood floors under the carpet. Not the case, which is really ok. We are ripping up the current carpet because the original owner (and the renter) had cats. So it's shredded in places, and kinda stinky. It looks like we'll do hardwood in the dining room area (yay!!), and new carpet in the living room. I'm very intrigued by Corn husk carpet. Apparently it's very stain repellent. Always good when you have kids right?
We will paint on Friday, because that's when Sherwin Williams is having a sale. We've picked the colors, and will only be doing the Living and Dining room area. Also high on the list, rerouting the Dryer vent. For some reason it's all twisy and turny, and held together with duct tape.
We also get to look at Washers and Dryers. It seems the ones that come with the house aren't in good condition, the renter even bought new ones...that's how bad they were. I know the ones I want...but I'll be happy with anything that has good reviews, and doesn't need quarters to run. :)
I'm most excited about our office/guest/entertainment room!! Mostly because...well...it's a guest room :).
Future projects include remodeling the bathroom and kitchen. Tearing down the wall separating the dining area from the sun/play room (if it's even possible), and putting up a nice new fence around the front yard. The bathroom is first on the list. I'm not sure when it will get done, one thing is for sure...we have to get a vent in there soon!
Thing's are getting done as quickly as we would like due to illness, massive snow, and the renter being stuck in Deary for a few days...but I know it will eventually get done.
We'll definitely be taking before/after pictures. We will, God willing, be in this house for many, many years!
