We closed on the townhouse on May 8th and got right to work on making the changes to it before moving in.
Thus far we've ripped out carpet on two of the three floors (the bottom floor didn't need new flooring).The third floor will be carpeted again and the second floor will be hardwood. Jackson has pulled more staples from the floor than he wishes to count. He tore down a wall in the living room. We had the entire house painted a very light gray color. We did a stripe paint design in the master bedroom (and by "we" I mean my BFF Amber). We've replaced light fixtures, cabinet hardware and closet fixtures. We've ordered granite countertops and new appliances. We've ordered new window coverings, too. Basically, the old owner shouldn't recognize the place once we're finished!
I've been so impressed by Jackson. He has done a ton of the work himself! I've gone along for moral support, but I'm not exactly skilled labor. ;)
