So, we closed on our house on Monday. Hurray! On Wednesday, we had the shag carpet in the basement ripped out, and today the carpet was put in the three bedrooms upstairs and in the basement as well. We stopped to see it tonight, and it makes the house look and smell so much better! :) I've got some vacuuming to do tomorrow night - lots of little chunks of carpet all over. In Iowa City, the carpet layer vacuumed when he was done. Not so here - it looks like a war zone! We haven't moved in yet, so it's not that big of a deal. Tonight we purchased our new appliances - the house did not come with a dryer, and the washer is quite old too. Our kitchen currently has lovely teal colored cabinets that we are going to paint white, so we decided on white appliances. Aaron is ecstatic - he finally gets a gas stove! :)
We have lots of projects for this house, but it will be a lot of fun to see the transformation. Our next three big things are to paint, put down the laminate flooring in the main floor, and put up a fence for the dogs. Well, the first thing is to finish getting moved in! :)
Anyway, I'll try to post some pictures of the house over the weekend. It's great to be homeowners again!
