Finally!

Good news: We found out last Wednesday that the appraisal came back good!

Bad News: I was sick with STREP THROAT and couldn't celebrate!

It would work out that way, wouldn't it? I have been stressing for a week about this appraisal and when we get the good news all I could do was take a nap cause I felt so lousy.

So now the real count down is on. Only six more days until we close. Then we get to start the demolition work ok, ok, not demolition work-UPGRADES. yay! the fun stuff!

Stripping wallpaper

every room downstairs has wallpaper!

having the whole house painted (inside & out)

that will include all of the trim and wainscoting

and the walls upstairs are pretty yucky!

new carpet

hence the blue carpet, can we say 80's flashback? new appliances

they all still work, but the handles on both the oven and the microwave are broken and the dishwashers front panel is being held up by a brick!

tile

again, blue. cant live with the blue vinyl. anyways its peeling up by the bay window.

We will hire someone to do all the work except the wallpaper stripping and the tile. You know the hubby can lay some tile and I can strip some wallpaper-with the help of a few friends. lol
