Thursday evening our loan funded, and Friday morning we ripped out all the tile that was "mold free".
Looks like mold to me!
While Matt and his helper ripped out tile, I started the painting. We painted everything but the bathrooms and our bedroom, in ONE day!
Sister came to the rescue Friday night to help me paint Kate's room...
And Aaron sat around acting like he was working...(kidding, Aaron!)
......
And Friday night our realtor called to tell us escrow closed. HA!
Poor Kate. When we could not find a sitter, we had to bring her with us. She escaped through her gate, and slipped and got a fat lip...
Cutting tile is the wrost! Enough said. ALL DAY SATURDAY.
NASTY NASTY NASTY shower. In an effort to save us thousands of dollars to re-do our bathrooms right now, I spend 4 grueling hours scrapping, scrubbing, and polishing.
Matt must have said something funny (or all the chemicals were getting to me), cuz I was not this happy...at all!
Then all week I would drive over to do projects and clean more when Kate napped, then after dinner until 12 or 1am, Matt and I cut, laid, and grouted the tile. 3 nights in a row!
Special thanks to my Dad who was our right hand man...babysitter, plumber, mason, and carpenter.
And my cousin Bryant who helped us tons with the tiling!
Longest. Week. Ever.

ahhh...i remember those days...up early, work on the house, work, work on the house, go to bed at 3am...did we eat dinner? and the cycle repeats...but you keep going because IT'S YOURS!!
Been waiting for the update- not like i didn't just talk to you a couple hours ago. But it's fun to see the pictures. That picture of me is strange- looks like I'm eating chinese food with chopsticks. Glad you guys are in- it's SO cute!
