We celebrated closing day with pizza and beer in camp chairs in the empty living room! Our family and friends joined and agreed we bribed them with beer to help us get started on our projects that weekend.
It was Sept 30th – we had until Halloween to be out of the rental house and move our stuff in. We put together a list of things we had to do before we could live in our new house. Here’s what it included:
- Refinish Hardwood floors
- Killz Primer and Paint all walls
- Paint ceilings
- Sand and Paint Kitchen Cabinets
- Tear out drop ceiling in basement (Eeew!)
- Tear off what was left of gutters and hang new fascia board around house
- Get gutters put on house
- Tear out existing HVAC and prep for new to be installed.
And during all of this we’d also be planning for our January wedding and attending a family wedding in CA – and don’t forget Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Here are me and my dad ready to work! Joe got me my very own tool belt to celebrate!
