BLOGGING...WHAT'S THAT...

NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAVE BEEN BUSY THESE LAST TWO WEEKS SINCE I CLOSED ON OUR NEW HOME!!

WE CLOSED ON APRIL 13, AND TWO HOURS LATER THE HOUSE WAS STILL FREEZING COLD!! 1030 AT NIGHT I CALLED THE HOME WARRANTY PEOPLE....LONG STORY SHORT.... WE HAD THE FURNANCE PEOPLE IN ON TUESDAY AND GAVE US THE BAD NEWS OF A BROKEN FURNACE...WEDNESDAY IT WAS INSTALLED.....WE CONTINUED TO DO AS MUCH AS WE COULD IN THE FREEZING COLD 57 DEGREES!!!! I AM STILL FIGHTING TO GET THE FURNACE CLAIM COVERED...THEY ARE DENYING IT..SAYING I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WAS BAD...THOUGH I HAD A HOME INSPECTION...HAD A CLEAR SELLER'S CONDITION REPORT..AND WHY AGAIN DO WE BUY HOME WARRANTIES??????

SCRAPPING, STEAMING, SCRAPPING AND SANDING THE WALLPAPER WAS ALL OFF AFTER 5 DAYS!!!! WE PAINTED A TOTAL OF 14 COLORS IN MY HOME. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE TO FIND HARDWOOD UNDER THE LIVING ROOM AND HALLWAY CARPETING!!!

I WILL TELL YOU IT HAS BEEN ONE HECK OF A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE...ALL OF OUR PAINTING IS DONE (TOUCH UPS ARE NECESSARY)...

CROWN MOULDING IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF BEING INSTALLED....CHAIR RAIL IS UP AND OUR NEW BEDS WILL ARRIVE IN THREE WEEKS....

THE NEW KITCHEN SINK IS GOING TO GET LOTS OF USE...KIDS GET READY FOR THE DISHES AGAIN.....

BUT THE REST OF OUR "HOUSEHOLD" STUFF IS IN THE NEW GARAGE...AND WILL BE ORGANIZED BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. PICTURES WILL BE POSTED WITH THE "AFTER" LOOK ... MAYBE THE INSPECTOR WILL DO THAT ...HINT HINT
