Wow, I know it's been forever since we've posted. Since Sean is really busy right now, I've decided to write a few things. The house is really coming along. All of our soffits (I think that's how to spell it) and rain gutters are all done. We also have a new driveway!
Yeah! I've been very busy painting the entire house. Mom has been a lot of help and we've also had some great help from friends and family too. I was there every morning for about an hour and almost every evening for 3-4 hours for 3 weeks. Needless to say, I'm exhausted, but the house looks so good. We did the great room in a really pretty green color, then painted the rest of the house in a nice tan color. It was interesting transitioning the colors around the rounded corners, but I think we made it work well. It's finally looking like a real house! I'm glad we don't have floors in yet because I could be as messy as I wanted to and not worry about spilling paint everywhere. Now my next project is to clean up all the rollers, and other painting mess so we can get our wood floors installed on Saturday. We still have some painting left like the trim that hasn't been installed yet, and some touch-up work to do. We actually got our appliances on friday. It's so nice to have a fridge and stove. Our kitchen is looking like an actuall kitchen now. They couldn't install the dishwasher becasue the old one which hasnt' been hooked up, somehow got hooked up, and Sears won't unhook and remove it. That is someone else's job. Oh well, it's at the house at least. It's been a long haul, but we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. We might actually move in one day! Here are a few pics. Hope you enjoy!
