House Update


On Friday May 29th we "officially" received the keys to our home! We were so excited!
If anyone is looking for a good realtor, we highly recommend ours!
We have so many projects going on right now for the house! It is so fun being a home owner already! We are so excited to finish everything and move in so we can call it our "home"! Thank you to Mom, Dad (Grandma / Grandpa) Kipper and Sarah and Dave and Cheryl (Grandpa and Grandma Hardy) for all your hard work, babysitting of Hailee and our furniture! We love and appreciate all you guys do for us. Thank you so much.

Starting of the projects:


First step: Always tape and caulk before painting. Hailee loved helping Uncle Dew!

Gregg tiling Hailee's Bathroom:
Starting to paint the downstairs:
Hailee's Room:
Next step: Cut and install chair rail on her walls.
Master Bath Tile:
Painting our bedroom!

Next steps:
Finishing tile jobs, painting, chair rails, carpet installation, cleaning house, and then moving in! Yeah!!! This has been such an exciting experience for us and we feel truly blessed to have this as our home!

Congrats Laurie!!! It looks great..we should have painted before we moved in..instead I am trying to paint around a 1 and 2 year old (not fun)! congrats.

Sara said...

Wow! It looks like you've gotten a lot done already, and everything looks great. It is so much better than you can do your projects before you move in instead of living in a construction zone.

YAY that is so exciting! I'm really going to miss having you in the ward though. :-( That's what blogs are for I guess! Blogs and Facebook. The house looks terrific. Congrats!

Looks like you guys have been busy but it looks great!!

Amanda said...

Oh my, you guys have been busy. It must be nice getting all these projects and updates done before getting into the house. I wish all that work was being done on my home. I can only imagine how anxious you are to get in there. So fun!
