Good news! My oldest sister, Marcy, was inspired to start looking after discovering the size of our new house is exactly what she needs and the price was exactly what they could afford. They have decided to build in our neighborhood and we will be neighbors.... well, kinda! They will be about a block away.
After seeing what Marcy's beautiful new house will look like, I couldn't help but be a little jealous at the fact that their house will be brand new and totally move-in ready. I had to keep reminding myself of the fact that ours only needs paint and it will be perfect PLUS the pool is something we could never afford to do on our own. I decided to get an estimate from a painter just out of curiosity. My true hope was that we would at least get all the woodwork (base boards, doors, and crown molding) done and we would do the rest. However, I asked for a quote of ceilings (I'd like them to be a tannish color instead of white) and walls. To my surprise, it was a very reasonable quote and we are having the whole inside of the house done right after we close. It's going to take the painters two weeks, so can you imagine how long it would have taken us? YEARS!!!!
We can't wait to get in and settle down :)
