5 Days

We have 5 days until we have to move out of the house we have called home for almost 8 years! It is truly bittersweet. We raised our 3 daughters in this home. We made this house our home, by adding our personal flare to every room. This makes me sad, however I am really excited we have been blessed enough to start all over again! W have 5 days to make the new house livable. It will be, but a lot needs to occur in order for this to happen! My husbands family has been helping us with the house and with our kids, so that has been a blessing. Here are some updates before the Move- in reveal!


 
The girls got the wall decals for Christmas from their aunt and uncle and they were so excited to see them on the walls of their new rooms. the girls' wall colors are a pastel version of their favorite colors, pink, turquoise and orange!
 
 
 
Our only working bathroom!

Wood floors are being installed and the carpet comes tomorrow!
 
I will be revealing our move-in ready rooms this week and then I will be doing a before and after post and then a project by project reveal.
Home is where your heart is!

It's Go Time!

Well we have 24 days until we have to leave our current home and this one needs to be finished! We are working tirelessly and Jason has been plugging away at so many things! We have made a lot of progress and we are pushing forward!

Some of the things we have been dealing with, and have set us back drastically is the Plumbing. We replaced most of our plumbing. This required Jason to break up the concrete in many different rooms.



 Master Bedroom

 


Family Room
 Lots of holes! But we did figure out how to fill them! Jason's brother helped us with that!
 

 
 






After the holes were filled, we continued to move forward! One new furnace was installed and most everything has been primed. The cabinets are being installed and we are waiting for the doors/jams and all of the trim. Then we will paint, and then floors! Counters have been templated and carpet has been measured! Woo Hoo! A huge Thank you to
Bradlor Builders
Hunters Painting
Hessco Plumbing
They have helped us tremendously!
Plus a huge thank you to my husband! Unfortunately I haven't been much help, because we have 3 girls and they still need to be cared for! This project was much more difficult than we had anticipated, but we are seeing the light and are very excited!

And since it is still Arctic here in NE Ohio, we have had several contractors slide off our driveway and get stuck! This truck is pulling another one out of the snow! Old man winter needs to hibernate!



We are still DIY'ers even though we have had to hire work out! Unfortunately with the massive plumbing problems it put our timeline so far out we needed help! We are still looking at moving into a home that is not completely finished! But we will figure it out! We always do.
Adventurers!
