New Home!

Roger bought me a house! We are now home owners.

We had a great realtor (if I say so myself) and we were great buyers.
(and yes I purposely left out any comment on our lender)

For over a year now we have been searching. Over time we debated over buying an investment for a home. In the end investment seemed to be the best option for us. So that is what we bough flocks. Only time will tell if it is a smart route to go.

So far every thing seems to be working out, but the work has just begun and boy is there a long list of things to do. All work is technically cosmetic, but it will be quite an overhaul. When all is said and done we will have...

New Kitchen (cabinets, counter, floor, lights, paint and some drywall work, new window over sink)
New Half bath (sink, toilet, mirror, lights, drywall work, floor)
Newer full bath ( some things were already new but we are trading in for our own new or adding to it.. so the list is not exact yet...but gone with the old tile in with new tile to only be in tub area, mirror, vanity, lights)
New paint everywhere!!! and new texture in main living areas (this will replace the not so lovely fan style they have going on in there.)
Refinishing hard wood floors in living room, hall, and bedrooms (hoping for a dark stain)
New carpeting in Family Room (also know as the refinished garage)
Trim Painted White
All new light fixtures
Appliances

Eventually the outside landscaping (other than riping a lot of it out, we will work on this starting next years warm season)

really the list goes on, and there are lots of details.

DEMO START MONDAY!
