Home Ownership



we arrived at our new noon home about 3 hrs after the lawyer called to tell me all was in order and we were good to go. the previous owner was still there but was completely alone and still had 2 rooms of boxes/clothing to move and was using a hatchback. soooo H and I unloaded our cars and our trailer, loaded up her stuff and moved it for her. our agent (the great and mighty merilyn mccart) says we already had a place in heaven, but now we qualify for having a drink with god. LOL
a lot of folks have asked about the house and seem interested to follow our progress so i figured this would be the easiest way to keep folks up to date.
this is my first blogging effort and i'm not sure how many pics i'm allowed to post so i guess we'll just find out as i go along.

this marks the end of day 2 and we've moved quite a number of boxes over including 56 boxes of hardwood and roughly 30 very very heavy boxes of slate. we've ripped down some of the trim and pulled out some nails in preparation for painting soon.

tomorrow the plan is to tear up carpet in 4 rooms, moved the 52" tv to the basement and take down the breakfast nook table and the corner cabinetry for the tv in the sunroom.

this room is NOT gonna stay this colour!! we have decided on Benjamin Moore's "turret"


this bathroom is in serious need of an upgrade but that will have to wait til 2011
major changes coming for the master bedroom

with some new carpet and slate this hallway should look quite different. 
the "sunroom" (for lack of better definition) is an extension of the kitchen area. the far patio door exits to the hot tub on the deck. half of this room will be refloored now, the kitchen area will be reno'd by xmas-hopefully
