Fixing Up The House

Life is good. Being married is great! Jaime and I are consolidating houses. I can’t do anything with my house, which is too bad. So we are fixing up Jaime’s house with fresh paint, new carpet, landscaping, deep cleaning, etc and we are going to move in, in a few weeks.

We hired a landscaping crew to clean the yard. Some of the weeds, I shit you not, were as tall as the house. Trees were overgrown and all over the place with live and dead branches. There was some shit in the backyard. They cleaned it up all nice and neat. For some reason, they left some river rocks scattered over the backyard…. No big deal. I do want to grow some grass back there. Maybe I’ll buy some this weekend, along with some fertilizer/dirt/soil.

We hired a painter to come in and get the walls white and fresh. It will look good with our furniture. They patched up some of the holes in the walls and sprayed white paints of our choosing throughout the house. Every room!

Earlier this year, there was a hail storm. Real bad. We are getting a new roof and possibly a new AC unit on the house. We are also getting the pool deck touched up or resurfaced. I’m not sure exactly.

We have a lot of cleaning to do and have been going over there every weekend to scrub, clean and all that. It’s going to be nice. I’m not looking forward to moving some of the things I’ve installed in my house (faucet, reverse osmosis system) into the new (to me) place but I am looking forward to being settled.

Oh, we bought new carpet and are getting the whole house carpeted.

We just bought a new dinning room table with 8 chairs. That is going to look pretty darn sweet.

Well, that is my update for now. We hope to have you all come over and relax and swim with us. (After you help us move!)
