First Floor

I have snaps of the first floor to share with all of you. Let me start by reminding you we are still moving in. As a matter of fact, as I type this Doug is making the last few runs from the apartment to the house to get the last of our stuff. I still have to go back to the apartment and clean the heck out of it. Fun.

Anyway, we are still moving. There are boxes everywhere, accompanied by piles of “stuff” that needs to find homes. It’s a wreck. But you’ll just have to deal with the wreck if you want to see the pictures.

Also, we have a next~year~or~two plan of things that need to happen as soon as we have the money to do them (we really don’t want to charge anything,) and a 5~to~8~year~plan of things we want to have done to get the house to our dream home. I will share some of our ideas for the first plan, the second one will only cement your suspicions that I am completely off my rocker.

Ready?

Here we go.

Sub~Floor? What Sub~Floor?

So I have looked up when in the basement before. I actually spent quite some time looking at the joists with the inspector. Yet for some reason, I never really looked at the ceiling/floor above the joists. Maybe then I would have realized why someone put other imitation wood floors all over the first floor on top of the real wood.

See that ceiling; does it look familiar? Here’s the dining room floor again (the one on the left.)

Keys!!

We signed yesterday afternoon and got our keys! We then drove over to the house and found that the sellers had left the pink rose wreath on the door. Isn’t it pretty? While we are looking, don’t you love the floating door? I think it is Doug’s biggest gripe about the house. The front door will be moving eventually anyway, so we will deal with it until then.

Joan (the previous owner with her husband, Jim) gardened as a hobby. Did I luck out or what!?!

I love it when Vada does her own hair. She’s so proud of her creation! So darn cute! Kyla was a little sick this week. We had a pajama cuddle day on Wednesday. She was very cuddly and very sad that her tummy wasn’t happy. Vada once again entertained us with her self~styled hair. She even got the back this time. I found this beauty at a consignment shop by InsaniTea. (I talked her down to $40 as it had … Read more
