Still not in yet...

Well, we've been homeowners once again for almost 2 weeks and we still aren't in our house!! We had planned on moving in late last week but we've had some unexpected projects and things just taking time. Nothing bad at all, but there was more work than anticipated with some projects. Dan's dad and uncle have been absolutely wonderful coming over and putting in full days of work all week long...and they are very meticulous about their work! I was joking around here that if it were just Dan and I working on the house it probably would be done and ready to go! That being said, the output of work we are getting from our family is much more quality than probably both of us would have done. So we are going to be patient and will plan on moving in hopefully by the end of this week.
The upstairs is finished - dewallpapered, sanded, spackled, painted walls and ceilings, new baseboards...it is done! (except the bathroom but that is a project of major undertaking that will require a couple years of saving up). On the main floor, Dan's aunt and I have been taking down cupboards, washing them, sanding them, spackling them...and the same to the interior...then they are painted. They're melamine cupboards so we have to paint with melamine based paint as well which is oil based and takes forever to dry (and forever to clean off if you happen to clean with Varsol, go home, and hours later find more paint somewhere...and there's no Varsol around!). So that project has taken some time. The guys will be painting the hall/stair/living room this week plus baseboards and then we are IN! We've been moving some of the furniture from the garage into the appropriate rooms and slowly but surely this house will become our home.
On a different note...I apologize to all my Facebook friends who read this - for some reason I am not able to do ANYTHING on Facebook right now when using my in-laws computer. I can log on and see profiles, but I can't send messages, play games, write on walls, etc. I am able to do this at work, but I am not really a big fan of the personal stuff while working, so I have kept that to a bare minimum. Again, once we get to the new house, there will be internet up and going once again!
