House Update

Well we got the keys to the house last Wednesday night, we started scraping wall paper and planned to get all the painting done this weekend. I don't think that will happen! We ran into a few set backs, when we scraped wallpaper the Sheetrock is not finished underneath in the kitchen, bathroom and downstairs bathroom. We called a friend of ours to come patch it up and texturize the walls. There was an overhang over the kitchen cabinets with some can lights, when we were scraping wallpaper in the kitchen we noticed the saufet above the kitchen cabinets was made out of some cheap wood and not Sheetrock we we decided to tare that down. Got down to the original saufet and found out that was made out of wood too.....Tom had lots of fun with the sledge hammer :) They used every kind of screw and nail possible I think some were even going into the shingles they were so long. The guy that owned the house was Tim the Tool Man, things were just not up to par. I am happy with the results above the cabinets that they are now open above, it really opened up the kitchen. Tom has the downstairs painted ~now if the rest of the house could just paint itself, wave the magic wand POOF we would be back on schedule. My mom and I went shopping last night for a new toilet, light fixtures and a few other things. While we were shopping Tom called and said to get a new toilet for the downstairs bathroom too. We laughed so hard, when people ask what we got for Christmas we can say His and Her toilets :) I will post some pictures of the before and after when we get done. We are hoping to be in, in a few weeks.
