Day One

It has been a rough week. First, we found out the woman we bought the house from didn't know she had to be out by the closing date. Second, our closing date got pushed back a day then moved again to the original date. Third, we signed closing papers on Thurs. and the woman still hadn't moved all of her stuff out. Finally on Friday afternoon she had enough out of the house for us to come in and start cleaning. Today is Sunday and she is still moving trash out of the garage. Eric's mom, dad, and sister came on Friday and we have been working our butts off cleaning, ripping wallpaper, vacuuming, scrubbing, etc. I've tried to put together some before and after pictures of what the house looked like before we moved in and what it looks like now. The final after pictures will come in the next week.
