Day 1

I have complaining like crazy for the last 3 days because stuff isn't happening fast enough, people aren't calling me back and quotes are not being completed. All we had to do to get into our house was resolve the issues from the inspection. I was so annoyed that I was sitting around waiting on others. Well today we resolved the inspection and got the keys to our home! What I didn't realize is that my life just changed! I immediately drove to Home Depot and started with painting supplies. We are painting while we have super ugly carpet so I can spill and not worry about the floor. Then I drove over to the house where it hit me just how much work lies ahead! Kenley and I got to work! Here she is helping pull out picture hanging nails out of the wall! 

In 4 rooms this is the pile we accomplished! Plus we filled in the bazillion holes! 

We went to get Av from school and then got to work on taking down the UGLY drapes from the living room! I wish I would have taken a picture but I was sneezing too much as the dust from 1958 that got the best of my allergies! I then finished half of the trim painting in the living room!
