As some of you guys know, Frank and I closed on our very first house yesterday. Of course we went over right away. We got right to work. Today, I went over after I got out of work with my mom and we got right to work. Actually, we went shopping. I had to get cleaning supplies and paint. $400 dollars later, we got to work.
So.... as you all know I am a complete klutz. Well, 30 minutes into cleaning and picking up, I stepped on a nail. Time to freak out about tetnus! Had to get a shot just in case. All in all, we cleaned the bathroom downstairs, took out all the nails in the walls downstairs, pulled all the paneling off in the "office", pulled up the rug in the dining room, and swept. When you look at the house now it definitely looks better.
So the bad news about the carpet is that the floor underneath it is hardwood, but it is painted white and gray. Hopefully we can sand it and refinish it, but if we can't we will just cover it with carpet. We will be painting this weekend.
