Closing tomorrow!

We got the call late Monday indicating our closing is set up for tomorrow at 11am!  We made the decision to start the prep and paint on Monday, hoping to get a good start on the work.  We had already lined up day care and time off from work, so it made sense to continue with the plan.  I will fully admit we hemmed and hawed about this right up until Sunday night.  It paid off because in two days we have vacuumed, puttied, sanded the "piss out of the walls", painted all the trim on the first floor, painted the ceilings and finally tonight, the first coat of new color.  I absolutely LOVE it.  It's a very light blue in the kitchen that makes the black appliances, sink, and counters really pop.  The rest of the color should be on tomorrow and we'll get a good start on ripping out some lovely wallpaper from the closets.  I should also mention that our fist snag in the house remodel is a unsightly rotten wall in Abby's Room.  I'm not sure what the heck happened, but we'll be ripping out some wall to figure it out if it was the roof, window, or gutters.  Who knows, but the joys of home ownership have begun!  Thankfully, I have two awesome brothers who know what they are doing and rock my world by helping.

We'll be home owners in MAINE as of 11am tomorrow!
