The past few data haves been crazy hectic. I've put in a couple 12 hour days but it has all been for the betterment of our new home. Yes the house is becoming a home. The floors are dyed and will be complete tonight ready to walk on in the morning. Andrea is a trooper. Seven months preggo and working like a horse.

My electrician, who is great by the way, will be in tomorrow as well as my plumber, he is equally great. Currently we are waiting in line at home depot purchasing new dual flush, high efficiency toilets for the three bathrooms and ceiling fans for the bedrooms and living rooms.

We also got our appliances yesterday. They are awesome.

Pictures coming soon.

It's official. We got the keys and in less than three hours, the locks were changed and the carpet was removed. Late nights are upon us as we begin to renovate this week so we can move in on the 28th.

Team Feingold closed on our new house this morning. By this time next week it should be well on it's way to being a home.

Rather than stain the concrete at the new place, we are going to dye it. It's super easy, dries instantly, and can be applied and sealed the same day. It looks exactly like stain and is way cheaper. Totally worth not having to go through the crazy hassle of the staining process too.

the coup de grace photo...

team feingold is moving! we are purchasing a 1976 home on the hill. it is everything we are looking for. spacious, open floor plan, corner lot, huge back yard with mature trees, and deer. lots of deer.

currently it is a 3 bedroom, 2 & 1/2 bath, with 2 living areas and 2 dining areas.

future remodel plans are as follows (not in any specific order):

1. convert the formal dining area to a 4th bedroom since it already has a closet.

2. remove all carpet (including walls) and stain concrete.

3. paint, paint, paint.

4. completely remodel master, guest and 1/2 baths.

5. remodel kitchen.

somewhere in there we will have another kiddo as well. that will only add to the fun! closing day is may 23rd. demo starts about 20 minutes after the keys are handed over...

the photo above should give you an idea of the unfortunate time warp our future home is sitting in...

this is the 1/2 bath.
