Let there be light.... and paint!

Once in awhile, the universe decides it's time to throw us a bone.  This past weekend was a great one at the house. Lots of fun things are happening! First, Joe & I got the living room and dining room painted this weekend! Damien ended up picking the final color, and I was nervous at first but I LOVE IT! It's the perfect mix of blue and gray and it really looks awesome.




We got our electrical work done on Saturday and passed our inspection too! Over the weekend we did have electric though because Damien made a makeshift plug that plugged into the generator and then into an outlet which powered about half the house.


Another super fun thing that happened is we got an AMAZING deal on tile for our kitchen. I want to take credit so bad - but I can't. Damien is completely responsible for this one.  He found tile on clearance at our local Lowe's for $0.16/sq.ft. Crazy, right? Well, they only had 4 BUT - another Lowe's about an hour away had 200 of them AND they price matched it. So we got tile to cover over 400 sq. ft. for $60! This tile would have originally cost us just about $1,000 so that is gigantic savings.


Our water should be on within the next ten days or so. Unfortunately we have to wait until the foreman gets back from vacation which won't be until next Monday. We are crossing our fingers they can get their end handled some time next week so we can have all the utilities worked out by the end of next week.
