The house

Alrighty. So we have been working on the house and moving in etc. But we have been in the house almost 2 weeks! We got an exterminator out to get rid of the many spiders and cockroaches. ew. But we are loving it! We have everything here and just ned to finish unpacking boxes.

So here is the front of our house! We keep the motorcycle, bicycles and buick in the garage and the truck outside. It's a 2 car arage but a skinny one. Not like my parents, where you can fit 2 cars with room in the middle and on either side. :)
Living room

The fan Daniel installed for us in the living room! Got it on sale! yay!
The chandler we got at a garage sale for 20 bucks! And we are trying to find a table that will fit more than 2 people. Gotta love craigs list!

My Kitchen! Our dishwasher is dead we found out. It will run, but the soap dispenser is broken to the dishes don't get very clean. So I'm hand washing until we can afford a new one.


Our Pantry that has tons of room! I love it!
tools and laundry!
Our master closest actually has our clothes in it! It took a while to get everything over here and for some reason the closet clothes kept being forgot.
We put Daniel's office in our bedroom since we have TONS of room.

Our projects:

We have been taking the remaining wall paper off in the landing area. We found a hint on line, after trying sand paper. Hot/warm water and fabric softener. Works GREAT!

Before
Afters

This wall nothing, beautiful!

This is the wall we tired with sand paper. took a while and not pretty.. we might have to re-texture
We also pulled up these rather large concrete stepping stones in the front corner. We are thinking either grass again or a bush. not sure which. Need to Landscape front and back yards still.
Another project is that a few days ago our water heater died and we got a new one! We took out, with a considerable amount of trouble, the old water heater and put in a new one. We had to get a "lowboy" it has 38 gallons. I don't like how they set up the water heater and furnace. Oh well.

Propane was being very cuddly, and sat in Daddy's lap while he read instructions.
Our new water heater!
Our mess from all the work. We have found that with owning a home that needs repairs frequently we are acquiring a lot of new tools quickly. :) Not that either of us mind.

Propane waits by the door to let you know when she is ready to come in. It's soo cute when she runs around the yard crazy then you don't see her and she's just waiting calmly.
And lots of the time she will let you know when she want's to go out!
Our friend Micheal, also known as Q. Has a couple dogs of his own and gave us a toy his dogs no longer use. It is a rabbit with no stuffing and 2 squeakers. Propane wasn't sure at first but now LOVES it. if you touch it at all she will pounce and take it right back. lol
