The contractors are done, for the most part. We had to pull the plug on the remaining "big" project, the master bathroom remodel, when the estimated cost for the project exceeded our cash on hand. Bummer.
However, the good news for the Hayleys was that all of the Really Important Work was completed within our budget:
- Popcorn removed
- Roof decking repaired
- Wood trim replaced
- Eaves rebuilt
- Walls repaired and painted
- Secondary line installed on the HVAC units
- Ducts repaired and retaped
Now we're in full-court press mode heading towards move-in.
- Clean and refresh cabinets
- Line kitchen cabinets
- Clean out previous owners'...stuff...from garage
- Steam clean carpet
- Scrub tile floors
- Thoroughly clean bathrooms
Friday night, I sat inside the house, as the last bit of sunshine was filtering into the kitchen. Looking around, I couldn't stop myself from announcing:
This is MY house!!!
Ella is with me, as I read your blog. We got to the bottom of today's post and she said, "That's a cool house!" :)
ReplyDeleteWow! An Ella stamp of approval. I very much appreciate high praise coming from a young lady who has such firm opinions.
ReplyDeleteI still love that house. You got an amazing deal. Good job keeping the faith that the right house would fall in your laps and not rushing it.
