OK...so, let me make one thing clear. NEVER AGAIN! If I EVER buy a differnt home other than the one I just bought there are 2 stipulations either of which must accompany the new purchase. 1 - the new home will be built. 2 - I will buy an existing dwelling and hire someone to 'fix it up' for me. This renovation stuff stinks!!! Its been 2 1/2 weeks, I'm exhausted, and its still not complete. On the positive side, progress is being made, the end is in sight, it looks completely different, and if i may, it looks GREAT! I love it SO much, but had NO IDEA how much work really would be involved. A HUGE thank you to my parents and my 2 great great friends that have been helping - I seriously wouldn't have gotten anything done if it weren't for them.
I'm almost done with all the painting, which means moving in is very very close. I'm planning right now on this weekend. In any case, I am bound and determined to sleep there Saturday night. Even if I have to push my bed down down the street - Molly and I WILL be residing there in some fashion beginning Saturday night. (note - pushing my bed down the street is a literal statment, being that the new house is a block away from the rental).
