Shopping and Repairs...

Ah ha! I found out how to edit the date that the blog was posted. Muh ha ha! Ah well though, I've already posted about the events that have happened so you guys are caught up. I was going to go back and provide more details but nah...on we go!

So, we start our home shopping on Saturday. We've decided to make the following changes to the house.

1. Remove all of the wallpaper
2. Paint all of the walls a neutral color
3. Paint all of the wood trim white (it's ALL over the house...sheesh!)
4. Replace carpet in two of the small bedrooms and in the basement - the other carpet seems to be in good shape, just dirty
5. Change all of the gold door handles in the house to brushed nickel
6. Change all light fixtures to match the brushed nickel
7. Replace the countertop in the kitchen
8. Change out the hardware on the cabinets
9. Replace the appliances with stainless steel (which we bought the Monday before closing)
10. Change all of the flat wood doors to white paneled doors
11. Clean up the landscaping
12. Pressure wash the house
13. Fix the inspector noted items
14. Finish the laundry room, we would then have a 100% finished basement
15. Possibly re-shingle the roof (it looks dirty but the inspector gives it another 5 to 8 years)

I think that about sums it up. Our biggest task right now is removing all of this wallpaper and painting. The rest of the repair work should go pretty smoothly.

We'll see...
