Sneak Peak

This week has been very eventful for Jake and I because we are now proud owners of a home! We've been doing some work on the basement the last few days so that we can get that rented and then we'll start on the upstairs. Since we've been homeowners we have purchased a tape measurer, all the painting supplies you can imagine, a cordless drill, and a floor scraper. It really has been a lot of fun so far! Watching all that HGTV is sure paying off! Thanks to all our family and friends for their help! Here are some pictures of the progress so far.

Here are some more pictures of the basement. We are laying some laminate tile in the kitchen. We already tore up the old (original, we think) carpet and prepped the floor so that Jake can do the tile during his spring break this week. We are also going to put in carpet in the front room and hallway so it's not the nasty ugly blue.






So if you know of anyone who would like to rent this lovely place please let us know. We have a few potential renters and we are going to put it up today but if you know of anyone that would be great! Now we just need some help switching out the light switches and finishing touching up the baseboards...Mom, do you want to volunteer for that one? You're the best at those finishing touches :)
