Well we took possession on Friday and since, we've sanded down the upstairs baseboards (which were once a sickly green and then a pink-brown), primed the master bedroom in the basement, taped off the majority of the basement in preparation for painting and vacuumed a gazillion times. There's been lots of other things done, however progress has been slow. I unfortunately can't do much over at the house seeing as I'm just barely 12 weeks pregnant and therefore in my first trimester. I can't really be in the house when the walls are being washed or when there's paint going up. Kind of a bummer.
We've ran into our share of "bumps." The most daunting being the mold in Holly's bedroom and the scary laundry room. Great. Add to that wallpaper that wasn't removed properly in the designated office, needing to use oil-based primer on some spots and we probably have to replace the eaves. Ahh, tis sweet to be a homeowner!
