Home sweet home

It's been forever since we've had a chance to jot anything down on the blog! Here is a little update on the renovations:

-All rooms have now been painted with the exception of the hallway and bathroom.
-We now have a shower that is NOT olive green!!
-We can only take ice cold showers because the 15 year old water heater finally decided to give out.
-We are keeping the cupboards that were built in the kitchen. I started putting away dishes and stuff inside them and then I got attached. It will also save us $2000 dollars, not having to replace them.
-We (and by we I mean my dad) were able to shorten the cupboards over the counter that looks into the living room and they already look SO much better, need hardware and to flip the way some doors open.
-The entry to the house is now tiled courtesy of moi. I love it, and now dirty shoes won't get on our soon-to-be new carpet
-The bedrooms and office now have curtains so that our next door neighbor who is also our backyard neighbor can't see into the rooms at night, and no one else can for that matter.
-We bought new washing machine, still a top loader but with no agitator- I love it.......
-We will have carpet and a new water heater by next weekend!!

We're going to send out postcards anyway, but if anyone needs our mailing address it is:
