The house that keeps on giving....giving me nothing but projects......My summer is starting out crazy....The first week of summer was spent with my wonderful sister and her family coming to visit....Our house was surrounded by lots of family for a week.
This week has been spent doing the one thing we SHOULD NOT be doing.....Looking at a house closer to the boys school.......We were just driving around the other day and saw this neighborhood and there it was....The house we always wanted....Two story (my youngest used to think stairs meant wealth, so he LOVES stairs), Victorian home with a POOL!!! And the best part, empty and desperate for a family to move in and love on it........As of today, we have submitted an offer on this house. It has to be presented to the bank by a realtor only. They say it could take any where from 60-90 days. Good news: we need all that time to finish our current house. Bad news: we don't get to enjoy that pool this summer......
This will be a journal of our progress on our current house and move on to the next house......
Day One: (today) June 11: We ( ALL four of us) cleaned out the office, swept the floor, and had to clean it with a chemical wash while someone vacuumed up the water....Hard work.....Then we put a stain on it....We, at this point, ended up being Jim and me.....Somewhere we lost the boys.......
Another project I'm working on is packing cabinets for storage. That way I can stage my cabinets (where people will be looking)......
Finally, I purchased a table at a garage sale awhile back and finished the table but never did the chairs. So, I am currently sanding, cleaning, and painting two of the four chairs......Tonight, Jim and I are going to end the weekend going on a date.....We have committed to spend more time as a couple.....I can't wait to go eat with him. We are going to Julian's.....Yum Yum.......
