Sorry for the delay...

Apparently renovating a house leaves no time for blogging about renovating a house. We started the day we closed and were still working on the house as we were moving in. Here is a quick list of the things we have done so far:

Painted 4 rooms, a hallway and a foyer including ceilings, trim and closets (used over 14 gallons of paint so far.). Pulled all the carpet, padding, tack-strip and staples from every room on the main floor. Changed out almost every electrical outlet and several light switches. Re-caulked the shower. Fixed a gas leak and a sink leak. Installed 7 sets of blinds. Replaced 2 light fixtures/ceiling fans. Put down quarter-round trim in 2 rooms so far. Installed cable jacks and phone jack. Changed out door knobs and dead bolts. Installed all new smoke detectors. Removed several shelves, hooks and other random junk from the walls and patched roughly 984,776,239,901,226 screw, nail and anchor holes in the walls. And of course cleaned the place from top to bottom.
We didn't do all this alone, we have to thank lots of family and friends who spent nights and weekend time helping us get all this done. And if that weren't enough they came out and helped us move all of our junk too.
Here are a few work pictures and a couple of before and after shots. Enjoy!

We still have lots of unpacking and work to do but the place looks much better and we are glad to be moved in. Thanks again to all those who helped. More to come.
