Tool Time

We have finally pretty-much finished unpacking into our new home! It's been a very busy and tiring month for us.  It was really hard to move during the last week of teaching, and with Matt still having to be at work everyday, and with me being pregnant, and with all these stairs!!

I won't post any pictures of the house yet since we are still in organizing mode, but boy can I tell you we are going to be best friends with the people at home depot for the next few years! I like that we were able to get a great older home, but it's going to be a lot of work to get it the way we want it.

What we've done so far:

• Bought a new washer - The old one left for us pooped out the third time I used it. May have been fixable, but a new one was probably the best idea.
• Cleared out the garage - This garage was filled with shelves.. I'm talking wall to wall on every side.  Matt loves being able to organize the garage and it looks much less cluttered already though still needs a lot a cleaning. 
• De-hooked - There were hooks on EVERY free space of wall. We (or should I say Matt) have taken at least 100 hooks off the walls, and there are still many more in the basement.  The previous owners probably left with 20 boxes of decorations from the walls. I think we'll be expert spacklers when were done!
• Cleaned - The walls, the floors, the doors, the toilets, the windows... you name it we've either deep cleaned it or it's on our list. We have used at least 5 tubs of those Clorox wipes (best invention ever!). 

We've got a long list of projects to tackle, and I think I'm enjoying this a lot more than I expected. Next on the list: Paint the baby's room!
