our very own money pit

we bought a house. (and yes, it is blue, but no, the picture here is not actually our house. actual pictures coming soon.) although, at the present i am in no rush to move in. the place is currently a disaster area and i like it just fine here where someone prepares three meals a day for me, thank you very much. but we are making progress. this is what we have done the past week and a half:

regraded the backyard to prevent flooding
cleaned stairwell drains
repaired shingles on roof
installed new rain gutters
raked up enough wet, frozen leaves to fill 10 garbage bags
filled two dumpsters with CRAP the previous owners left behind
filled a garage with semi-crap to be donated
ripped out baseboards, trim, moldings
ripped out two bathrooms: vanities, toilet, floors, tile
tore down a wall
rewired some outlets
stripped several walls of wallpaper (layers of painted wallpaper=biggest pain ever)
installed new exterior doors and purchased new locks
purchased new interior doors
purchased tile for master bath
purchased lighting for master bath
fixed some plumbing
cleaned out kitchen cabinets

prepared kitchen cabinets for painting
removed millions of screws in walls
filled holes left by screws
patched leaking roof
removed leaking dishwasher
purchased new kitchen appliances
purchased paint

woah. i am exhausted. and this is just the beginning!
