Well, it’s official, we’re homeowners.
But also still renters.
Our apartment is paid up till June 30th so there’s no need to rush the move. We’re taking the time to clean, paint and fix everything before we move furniture in.

We picked up the key to the house on Friday afternoon and brought Banner along. The dog went nuts. No, seriously!! He loves his backyard and basement. There’s tons of space for him to run around in.

Got him to sit still for a few minutes.

Wanna know what sucks almost as much as packing and moving……
Painting!!! I was soo excited about prospect of moving into a house with 5 bedrooms. The realization that they all needed to be painted came after

My scrap room has taken 3 coats already. Jimmy’s sister is much more meticulous than I am. She’s warned me it might take a 4th. We’ll see what it looks like when we go back tomorrow.

The rest of the bedrooms and living room should be completed tomorrow. Then we’re tackling the basement.

My back aches, my arms are sore. I’m a real fright. Can’t wait to go back to work tomorrow to sit and relax.

Cheers!!
