Hector & Steph's little town home

The long and anticipated wait is now over. We have had a very busy schedule these past 3 weeks. It went something like this. "OOOOOh look honey here is a townhome we may be able to afford. Lets put in a bid for it." Bid is successful, schedule move out date with apartment complex. Close on house. Now most people from here on out would be able to just schedule a moving truck on a certain date to bring thier stuff to their new home, and not worry until moving day. Well we had to first bug bomb our place twice, then rip out carpet and linoleum because it was nasty, demo a random closet in the kitchen to make more room for the dinning room, wet and scrape old popcorn ceilings because we no longer live in the 80's, then skim with drywall entire ceilings (kitchen, dinning room, living room, and master bedroom), sand all ceilings with a wonderful pole sander, my back, and shoulders still hurt. Patch random holes in walls, remove old random wall paper and straw crucifixes in master bedroom, replace all locks because we did not have a key to the backyard door, repaint kitchen cabinets, and clean kitchen cabinets, replace our nasty stove with non working burners with a new stove, clean out refrigerator, paint, place new flooring, make runs to the dump with all our construction debris, volley ball games, mutual, work, do the hippidy dippity, move out of apartment, clean apartment, more hippidy dippity and then finally move into new house, all in a matter of 2 weeks. So that is my excuse on why its been so long for the new post to be posted. But it is finally here. So here are some pics of our current work in progress.
