Moved In

By August 7th, the house was cleaned up enough that we decided to move out of Jessica's parent’s house and into our work in progress. We started early, had a big truck, and lots of helping hands (thanks everyone) that made the move go fast...everything was in the house by 12:30. We still have some boxes sitting around and a pile of stuff in the basement, but they are slowly getting smaller.


The Truck (I can't believe they allow anyone to rent a vehicle this big)


Kitchen Floor

After painting the walls and ripping out most of the carpet, it still smelled like old people so we decided to rip out the carpet in the kitchen. We thought that there was linoleum under the carpet in the kitchen which we would be able to clean up and live with. Ends up that there was linoleum like we thought, but it was covered in adhesive and underlayment (felt) remnant. Since the kitchen will be one of the first areas that we will redo, we decided just to paint over it and call it good for now. Trust me, it's a classy look.
