Here we go...

Three little monkeys on the front stoop

Silly kids!

Lots of glue on the top of the vinyl we found in the dining room area. We are thinking of cleaning it up really nice and leaving it.

Original flooring in the living room. Painted the traditional "Baldwin Brown" that most plantation homes had. I was told that Mrs. Baldwin was in charge of choosing paint colors and she chose brown and red for most homes.

Here we are right after carpet demo.
Met our neighbor across the street - he's lived there for 20 years. Another neighbor across the street has three kids, ages 7, 5, and 2! And another neighbor at the end of the street has an 8 year old little girl. The kids are stoked!

I'm sure there will be a lot of projects that come up and my head is spinning with ideas but we'll take it one project at a time as we can afford it. It will be nice to save for a project and then pay cash to accomplish it. I did order some new kitchen cabinets for the lower cabinets. They'll be here in about 12 weeks and I came in $1,000 under budget! WooHoo!
