Well, we did it. We signed many, many times on the dotted line and will shortly be elbow deep in home remodeling shenanigans and much more debt. Now that the closing is behind us, here's our to-do list:
1. Move all worldly goods out of house so roof can be ripped off
2. Move all worldly goods into rental house
3. Spend next 6-8 months agonizing over fixtures, tiles, paint colors, etc. while trying not to go over budget
4. Move all worldly goods back into the "new" house
All in all we are really excited about the pending transformation, except for steps 1,2 and 4.
We are signing our lease tomorrow, and Charlie has already declared which room in the rental is "his." He also loves to talk about how Mr. Craven is going to make his house bigger, and then he can get a yellow doggie. He's got an agenda, no doubt.
I've decided to start a separate blog just for the renovation (not entirely sure why this is necessary, but it seemed like a good idea earlier this afternoon). Check out www.miraclerenovation.blogspot.com in a few days for some before pictures and the plans for our new nest.
