Zach and I went to Lowes today and priced everything out for the house we are buying until the point of utter exhaustion. Utter exhaustion is pretty easy to accomplish when you see thousands of dollars fly out of your savings account. Thank God we have a savings account to begin with or we would have to do renovations every other Thursday when we both get our paychecks. The moral of today's Lowes story is that remodeling a kitchen is extremely expensive!!! I had no idea that a refrigerator would cost $900. That is just insanity. Installing new appliances alone is the majority of our budget for updating this house. Its really unbelieveable... but really worth it because the current appliances are really shabby. I'm hoping that we will at least be able to get something for them when I try to sell them in the paper!
We are probably going to be closing on the house this week which makes me really excited because I can't wait to put new gutters on. I never thought i would be excited about gutters!! When I was at work the other day I was looking in thew newspaper at houses for sale just for fun and I found an EXACT REPLICA of the house we bought that was fixed up like we want to fix ours up... selling for DOUBLE what we are buying our house for. Not only that but its two streets away from where our house is. Yay! It's very very likely that we can make like a $40,000 profit. Shizam, that's medical school. :)
