House

We purchased a house in Lewisville, Tx in March 2007. The house was a fixer upper and we couldn't have done it in the month's time we had without the help of my mom & Don (they drove up every weekend to help out with whatever they could), my dad (came down from Colorado and helped us out for a week), uncle Mark (came up from San Antonio to put our counter tops in), Jennier Peden, Phil and Margaret Rodgers (There were here with us almost everyday and we couldn't have finished the house without their help and knowledge), and Adam's Dad (he and Adam laid the tile in the kitchen). We ripped out all the carpet and had it replaced, scraped the popcorn ceilings, took off all the wall paper in the entry way, master bath, and kitchen, retextured the walls and ceilings, painted the entire inside (walls, ceilings, basboards), retiled the kitchen floor, retiled the master bathroom shower/tub, put in new toilets, replaced all the light switches and plugs, did some light plumbing and electrical, put new counter tops and sink in, retiled the backsplash, put all new appliances, an put all new ceiling fans and light fixtures throughout the house. We worked so hard, our apartment and the house were about an hour away from each other and we would go to the house straight from work and stay there working till abut 11 or 12 each night go back home to sleep get up go to work and head straight for the house again. We would get to the house around 7 on Sat. and Sunday mornings and stay till 11 or 12. We did this for 30 days straight to finish in time for us to move in. It was so hard but worth it, the house turned out beautiful! We recently saved enough to put gutters on the house and we are in the process of painting the outside and replacing rotten siding. Eventually we would love to put some landscaping in the front.
