Pack it up and Move it out!

Hooray, hooray! We got it! We bought a house in a nice neighborhood that we can grow into as well as work on and boy are we excited! I'm debating on whether to put numbers on the blog but I'll do it anyway cuz I'm so happy with the house we found.
This house we found has 2 stories and a basement, a fenced backyard with a shed, 2 car garage, 4 bedrooms, a fireplace and a 3 season room off the back of the house. Three years ago it sold for 168K and we're buying it for 98K. When things are on sale you stock up right? :) We will start the fixing up process tonight becasue the biggest problem is that there is no carpet. Previous owners had pets and I"ll just tell ya a major scrubbing and new carpet is necessary! The smell is basically the problem and a few minor things we can fix up as we save up. We won't know what to do with all the space but I will not complain about that! When we get pixtures we'll have to get them up here. Before and afters are always fun to see.
Just whistle while you work will be our theme for the next few weeks!
