We signed papers at Lawyers Title on Monday April 30, 2012. It has been a loooooonnnnng process. 6 months felt like years. We first moved into this house just as a "temporary" rental until we either built a house, or found one in this neighborhood. One day Heath and I went for a walk to pick up the kids from school. As we walked out the front gate, we were looking at the house. I said "why don't we buy this house" kind of jokingly.... We talked to my cousin, Jean Simmons, and after a few little problems, we got the ball rolling. Little did I now what the next few months would bring. Patience is a trait that has to be applied when buying a home.
The morning of May 2, 2012 we started the destruction of the house!

The carpet in the dining room was really, really stained, and really gross. With kids, you just can't have carpet under your table! We shampooed the carpets twice and I scrubbed when I could, but it just never looked good. So that was the first thing that had to go! I had NO idea that much dirt could be under your carpet! I would like to know more of the history of this house. I'm not sure how old this vinyl flooring is that was under it, or who even put it down. It cleaned up pretty good. It's nice to be able to sweep under the table instead of vacuum.
