Drywall - Almost Finished

After Adam painted with the semi-gloss we decided that the drywall was not as flat as we thought it was so this is what it looks like before the drywall guys came back to texture. We need to repaint which means a run to Lowe's for some more Lotus Flower. I don't see how we're going to get done in time to move next weekend.

More Projects

This is what we did Saturday night....brings back memories of painting at 2am at our house in Ontario. I put in the closet organizer stuff and painted but I didn't get a picture - I'll get one later.

Working on the house...

old carpet...yuck

Here are some pics of what was done in the last few days. My sister and her boyfriend painted Erin's ceiling Thursday night. My dad and stepmom drove out from Georgia for a visit and we spent 2 days prepping the house for carpet. My dad removed the carpet and padding from the house and then vacuumed up all of the dirt that was under the carpet. Then he sprayed the house. Carrie (stepmom) and I painted the living room by hand since the ceiling is exposed beams. On Saturday, the carpet was put in and it looks great. Once we finish the kitchen, they'll put in the vinyl. I (yes, me) put in the new door hard knobs and a wall sconce that was part of the housewarming gift my dad and stepmom got us. There is still a ton of work to do, but it is nice that everything will be new when we move in.

We have a house!

We closed on the house today. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath fixer that is just around the corner from us. It is also really affordable. We have a month or two before we have to move in so hopefully we'll have it all fixed up by then. I'll hopefully post some pictures soon (although the house is not much to look at).

Also, I am done with school for now and got all A's. But the new quarter starts soon and I will be taking 4 classes and will be busier than ever.... trying to enjoy this little break!
