Our last post was about being "under contract", but we did close on September 1st and started a major renovation on September 3rd. Jeff and Andy, our Realtor friend, demolished the master bathroom while Jewell and I tried to get boxes unpacked in the upstairs. Sandra and Jeff (Nana and Grandaddy) were also here and Grandaddy changed out several light fixtures and accompanied Jeff on several trips to Lowe's. Nana kept the kids at the hotel which was a huge help while we were in the throws up painting the rooms.
As the renovation went on, we decided to do a few more things "while we were at it", which included tearing out the flooring, cabinet, wallpaper, etc in the half bath and re-doing it. In addition, we decided to go-ahead with the kitchen renovation, which included ripping out Formica countertops and replacing it with granite....but the cabinets would look dingy...so we repainted the cabinets and had interior hinges put on the doors and changed out the knobs. And the light fixtures, and the sink, and the faucet. And a new microwave that is built-in over the range, rather than taking up valuable counter space...
I have taken some pictures and will upload those soon.
