We celebrated our first night in the house Friday night by popping open a bottle of champagne and setting up camping chairs in the living room and an air mattress in the master bedroom. (Please forgive our appearance in the picture, it was after midnight and we were pretty exhausted!) I have to admit, despite all the work it is going to be, this house thing is so much fun. Mike had to be in NJ this past weekend to help out on a friend's house, so I spent all day Saturday cleaning the heck out of the place. I'm not exactly one for scrubbing, dusting and vacuuming, but knowing that this is going to be "our home" made it pretty enjoyable.
We are trying to come up with a realistic schedule of home improvements and have a pretty extensive to-do list. We hope to de-weed and spruce up the landscaping, add more storage and redo the counter-top in the kitchen, add flooring and walk-up steps to the attic, spackle, prime and paint everywhere and lay new flooring in the entire first and second levels- all before we move in in October. And then of course we also have another list of everything we want to do after we move in! I see lots and lots of long and tiring weekends in our future, but we couldn't be more excited!
