Let the fun begin...

Being a homeowner is exhausting! Especially when you buy a house that is outdated, dirty, and in need of A LOT of TLC. Settlement was Friday afternoon. They handed us the keys and we were off. Straight back to our new home and we set to work.

It was a bit overwhelming for the first couple of hours. Just trying to figure out where to start. There's sooo much work to do, inside and out, plus the entire place needed to be super cleaned so that we can move in and start living there next weekend.

I think Jim and I worked well together and divided the tasks up well. We're both hard-workers and neither us mind a little dirt under the nails. I just hope I can repeat those 2 sentences in 6 months!) Overall I'm happy with the work we accomplished for our first weekend (especially considering Jim had to work most of the day Saturday). But the road ahead is long....

Lots of pictures to follow...
