WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR:
-Ripped out 3 walls, hung new drywall, mudded and taped.
-Painted Luke and Lilly's rooms. (Thanks Mom)
-Ripped down 90% of wallpaper. (We can't yet reach all of it in the stairwell.)
-Sanded (Thanks Mark) and painted Luke and Lilly's furniture.
MADE PLANS TO:
-Paint the entire downstairs and the stairwell. (Alison did not inform me of her plans to paint the first floor other than the entry way. I think I was duped into that.)
-Lay laminate wood flooring in entry way, back hall, bathroom, kitchen, and dining room.
(Uh Dave, you said you've done that before right?)
-Carpet the family and living rooms. (Once again, something I thought would be further down
the road, but the carpet isn't in as good of condition as we initially thought.)
-Put a fence in so our dogs can move here too (and so we don't constantly have to chase two
little ones into the front yard away from the street).
-Put some recessed lights in the family room and master bedroom since there are NO ceiling
lights (I'm wondering what the builder was thinking.)
-Paint the kitchen cabinets.
-Probably 5,000 other little things I'm unaware of at this point.
Oh how relaxing and refreshing it is to have a new home. Mark and Linda, can we move back in with you please?

It sounds like you had a wonderful, relaxing spring break! Are you looking forward to summer? In your spare time, post some pictures. I'd love to see your new home! By the way, did you take before and after pictures? Sometimes we remember to do that. Congratulations on your new home! Hope to see it before our kids graduate high school:)
We can't wait to come and visit.
sounds like fun! :) Like Sally said, would love to see some pictures! :)
