Closed...finally

Well...Taylor and I are officially homeowners. We finally closed on our house on Friday. It is such a relief to have all that paperwork out of the way, so we know exactly how much money we have to play with. So congratulations to us...we are officially broke!!
In other news, we got our electric hooked up this past week and we turned it on Thursday night...finally heat and lights! It has been cold the past few days, so having the heat blasting out to get the sheetrock warm was great. Taylor and I knocked out the support beams put in place for the transportation of the house, and finished seaming everything this weekend. The housing company put laminate flooring down in the two bathrooms, so my little bro Antonio and I pulled up all the trim, laminate, and luon. It was a riot to see my 8-year old brother with a mini crow-bar and hammer pulling up the luon. We had a blast!
Our friend, Ethan came over yesterday and started all the prep work to lay the tile in the kitchen and entryway. He came up with a really cool idea for the entry way, but I'm going to keep it a secret...you'll have to stop by or stay posted to see what he does!
Things are looking great and moving along fairly quickly. On deck for this week are laying tile, installing the wood floors, building stairs to the basement, mudding the sheetrock seams, and getting the plumbing all connected. Also, our kitchen appliances are scheduled to arrive on Friday...can't wait to see them all in our kitchen! I'm so excited.
Stay tuned for more!
