Dumpster

WOW!!!!!! we filled the first dumpster last night, we have to get another one. I can't believe that we had that much stuff come out of the house.

On another note we got the road paved in front of the house and looks great.....Hopefully it will help sell the house.

We have a few odds and ends to get done, but once we get the 2nd dumpster and clean up all the junk i am going to put the 4sale signs out. Should be up by friday.

Still need to get a kitchen light....

Work Week

It has been a long week to say the least. We got lots done. The kitchen is installed, drywall done, house painted, upstairs bathroom is done and all the interior doors are hung. Basement is painted.

We have a list of things left to do but i think that we are still going to make the oct 1st deadline of getting the house complete.

I wanted to take pictures of the house yesterday but forgot my camera.

We are very busy, I sold a house yesterday and have to get all the paperwork done they want to close in 5 days, it really makes my job harder to do that and also next sun i have a sales meeting for a few days in state college. crazy i hope my life slows down a little in the next month or so. I was thinking yesterday how i love sundays in the fall/winter when i can just sit on the couch and listen to football on the tv reading a book and take a nap.I can't wait until we can get back to that.Soon i hope.


Well i am off today back to work i have to get catalogs to a school that is 2 hr away and then be back by 3 to take tonkia to the vet for 4.

Pictures to come at some point this week....

Paint

We are ready for paint tommorow, and I haven't picked out all the colors yet, but will before I got to the store tommorow to get it. I am kind of going back and forth about a few colors.


The oil guy came and we got 75 gallons of oil for the flip today. They also came and started the furnace. It works great. they are going to come back in the next week or so to give it a good cleaning and replace nozzles and things.....


We are getting all of the rest of our supplies delivered on friday. We should be ready by then to install the kitchen.

Got the tile from HD on sat night. Blaze is going to install the tile while i paint tommorow. Its starting to go fast now.We should be def. done by Oct1st. Not worried about that anymore.

The oil man came walked through the house and asked us how much we were going to sell it for he thought we should sell it for more, so did blazes mom when she came over this past weekend.

We had a visit from Heidi and Belle this weekend. Although we were working on the house and didn't get to see them much, we plan to visit once we get this house done. We have a lot on our plate right now. More about that in an upcoming post.


I better get back to the flip,I just came out to let the dogs out and sat down at the computer...
