Excited much?

As most of you know we are in the midst of closing on our very first home! The closing date is set around Dec 6th. Not long at all just 36 days! As soon as we close I will be heading there to paint. It has to get done quick because when tony starts pulling up hardwood, cutting hardwood, and sanding I cant paint til its done or else dust with settle in the paint! SO im hoping to get all the painting done before he starts on the floor!! :) We are trying to finish in 2 weeks so that we are in by Christmas. Tony will be busy with work during the day so we will be doing most of the big stuff (cabinets & flooring) when he gets off work and on weekends. Luckily those take a few days each. It's so exciting getting a new home.

The house needs some work, cleaning, and painting but when we are done its going to look great!!!I will be of course documenting all we do, updating with pictures of our changes and renovations. We are going to have a few sleepless nights im sure but it'll all be worth it. We're hoping to have a few friends and family members available to help a few days so that it can go much quicker! We told them we'd feed em if they help. lol Only thing that stinks is it'll be in the COLD because we cant run the heat while doing hardwood... lol brrr! Here's the list of items we had to buy or will buy for the house and all that needs done! Wish us luck and if u feel compelled to help just stop on by :)
