We're Homeowners!

This home purchasing experience has to be one of the most stressful things that either of us has ever experienced and it was worth every moment of frustration. We have now been living in our new home for a week and a half and have been SO BUSY!

What we have done so far:
-ripped out five large awful shrub trees that were in the way for our new fence
-had new appliances delivered
-gas lines run to the stove and dryer
-custom fence built, its awesome!
-new electrical and outlets run for our TV and microwave
-water line run to the refrigerator for our ice maker and water in the door
-replaced our old LEAKY kitchen faucet with a gorgeous vintage looking one
-new stainless range hood delivered and yet to be installed
-installed a doggie door
-bought a newish pillowtop queen size mattress on craigslist (our cal-king was not going to fit very well in our new room so we gave it to my best friend.)
-removed awful hunting bird tiles from fireplace.
-scraped out old caulking around the bathtub and re-caulked
-somewhere in between all that I also started stripping the many layers of paint off our original kitchen cabinets. I count about 7 different colors.

I will post pictures of all this madness soon. Lots done and many more projects to come. ;-)
