OK, So we have not been able to blog in quite sometime, obviously due to time constraints that we both have had. So, I have taken some pictures throughout the process which I want to show some “before and after pictures.” I took the pictures with my blackberry, and also Emily’s digital camera…so there will be some pictures that are not so good in quality.
Since moving in, thanks to Emily, Emily and Bo and many of our friends, we have painted the entire inside of the house. I think we used around 10 gallons of paint and about 6 different colors. The living room was the most challenging part of the painting because of the vaulted ceilings. For anyone who does not know, I am possibly the worst painter on the face of the earth, and I cannot do the trim part. Thank god the entire house is tile or I would have had to replace all carpet. Anyways, I am going to post some pictures to show the progress. I am having someone look at the yard soon to re-landscape. I am also wanting to paint the outside of the house in January or so…since it will be cooler then. Obviously, I am VERY glad to be out of the condo finally. It was a long time coming. It is very nice to have a house and the room now.
For anyone wanting to visit anytime soon, the guest bedroom will be ready this weekend! 
Take a look at the pics – keep in mind that the pics are a “work in progress.” The left column is the “before pictures” and the right column are the “after pictures” – towards the end are just pictures of what it looked like when we were actually working…once everything is up on the walls, and things are in place, I will then post final pictures when it is completed.
Have a great week everyone!
Thank you everyone for the support and following our blog!
