Yup done deal as of yesterday at noon. Got in
and we were cleaning walls to get ready for paint. Most of it is
getting painted flat white for now. Just to clean it up and get it
looking nice. THen later we will figure out what gets painted what
color. Got 2 5 gal buckets for $35 a bucket.
/Then - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!'
yeah I hear that one color just to get settled thing. In my parents
house I picked up all the gallons of one PPG color ("Bone") when a local
home improvement store went under.
/ Got some pics and trying to do before and after pics.
/can't wait./
Had a local carpet cleaner guy come in and for $20 an
area did a better job than the big name guys. $100 total. Got a coat
of paint on the kitchen and the laundry room. Gott aspot prime a few
spots that are dark showing through but it's looking 100% nicer.
/carpet sounds like a good deal. We've pretty much ripped it all out
downstairs. It was stinky and brown. Not chocolate, just brown. Dan
is talking about putting wood treads on the stair and getting rid of
it. (talk about dirty and hard to clean). I ran the rug shampooer
over it so many times that when we moved the old entertainment center
out, it was a different color under it.

As for appliances.. The sears hometown store has a new 26 cf fridge
for $714 and is really close... THey are going to match best buys price
on front loader washer and dryer Samsung for $450 each. And a new
dishwasher for $300.

Sounds good. I have a 26 cf and it seems barely big enough. Course I
left the windex in there this morning, and that will fill it up quick.
Rest sound good, too.

Gotta get a riding mower somehow though... Not sure
where the funds for that will come from yet..
/In time. Maybe keep your eye out for someone in foreclosure who won't
need a lawn mower any more?/ /Or a used one at a dealer? The only
reason we bought a new one to replace the 22 year old Craftsman was
because the deck had worn through and a new one was $800. that makes no
sense. But we still use it, it still runs, just doesn't cut very well.
They seem pretty hard to kill.
