Clean up day!




Today the house was cleaned up and made to look spotless. The kitchen & bathrooms look great. We now have a door bell & our house numbers are up. This morning our house passed the home inspection with flying colors. Just a few more touch ups & things to do outside then we'll be ready to move in. Two and a half days until closing!

Paint!

Our house has been painted with the "Retreat" color and it looks great!
They still have to paint the trim, put up the gutters, stain the deck, and put down the topsoil for our yard. Lots of little things to do before Thursday!
