Getting Situated

Well it has been a VERY busy weekend for us. It's incredible how dirty the house was. It's like the people who lived here before never cleaned EVER! Kelly has been cleaning non-stop for 5 days and it is finally beginning to be clean enough to live in comfortably.

Kelly's mom is moving this month and she had a TON of furniture sent to our house and it arrived on Friday. Now we have a bedroom set for the extra bedroom plus all of the furniture we need to furnish the downstairs. It looks really nice. We also now have everything out of the garage and into the right rooms but we're still working on getting everything organized upstairs. The downstairs is pretty much set up how it's going to stay and our next step is the bedrooms.

We pulled the wrought iron out of the kitchen cabinets, pulled out the glass, cleaned it, and re-installed it with some new moulding to hold it in and it looks awesome.

The master bathroom toilet started leaking on Friday and I spent 5 hours on Saturday trying to fix it only to need to call a plumber to come fix it for $160.00. I hope I will become more handy as time goes on. We ended up needing a new copper pipe soldered onto the existing pipe in the wall and the entire toilet needed to be reset with a new wax ring. I would not have been able to fix it without a plumber's help anyway. It would have been nice to know that BEFORE I attempted to fix it from 8am to 1pm but at least it's done now... that's all that really matters.

Fedex delivered the water heater parts on Saturday and I was actually able to fix it myself. We enjoyed hot showers for the first time on Saturday and it only took until four days after we moved in haha.

Until next time.
