We have already started renovations on our house - we didn't waste a minute! Mark's father agreed to help us on some big projects and we are so grateful for his time, patience, and expertise. I know nothing about home renovations so having the combination of Mark and his dad is a true gift.

Mark and his father ripped up all the linoleum in the kitchen and laundry room while I began to remove wallpaper in the kitchen. They also helped me with this task. It is time consuming but not too bad - a perfect job for me! We also tested out the paint colors we selected and love what we chose. I also cleaned out the dirty refrigerator and the interiors of all the kitchen cabinets. This is a picture of an unidentified object I found in the bottom kitchen cabinet. Your guess is as good as ours as to what this is?!?!?

We also met our next door neighbor who is very kind and very talkative (Mark and I each spent 40 minutes talking to him). He is the self-proclaimed "Watchdog" of the neighborhood along with the president of the HOA. We are thankful to have an involved neighbor though we are sure he will provide many a good story!

We are planning on changing/fixing/updating almost everything in this house. There is LOTS of work to be done but we have a plan and a budget so we are set to work!
