House Update

The last 2 summers, Justin worked his hiney off finishing everything in our backyard. The nice part of that is that we spent a lot of time outside. This summer he mostly worked on in-house projects. Painting most of the interior, new floors, and new molding. The result is awesome, but we both feel like we didn’t really do a lot outside this summer, and now our chance is gone! Not everything is finished completely, he still has a little trim painting to do, and we have really haven’t hung anything back up on the walls yet, but for the most part, all the big stuff is done. My biggest issue with this house has always been the nasty, nasty floors. Linoleum in the kitchen, dirty carpet from the front door to the back door…all of which now lives at the dump.

Like I said, everything is not done yet. A few pieces of furniture need to be purchased. We are going to get a computer hutch for the front room, which will go on the wall across from the couch. Those 70’s-tastic bar stools need to be traded out for something a little more up to date. But, everything is at least clean and functional at this point. So even though a lot of the summer was spent indoors, totally worth it.
