I meant to do this post at the end of November, as the 26th marked the first anniversary in our home. But that didn't get done. Then I meant to do it in December... fail, again. So, I was determined to get this posted to mark the New Year!
James and I gave ourselves 2 years to try and get this house into shape. And I can confidently say I think we are over the half-way mark. Our wallet definitely is. Pretty sure there isn't one room that is totally complete... but it's definitely better than it was. We've accomplished large task such as flooring, flooding and kitchen; now we can focus on individual rooms, furniture, decorating and details.
The early photos are scarce - most of the good ones were on our laptop, which was stolen. So we'll just have to make due with what we've got! But it does make me appreciate this sweet little blog and the memories I do record on it. So here we go. NO judging... like I said, it's not done. And I'm not sure it ever will be....
Here's to 2012 - May the sweat-equity stay steady and the real estate market get off it's knees!
This is a photo of James crying like a little baby, because he has no idea the world of mess that we are about to get ourselves into.

I found this one to be the best. What they don't tell you on those DIY shows: Sure you can save money by doing it yourself - but you spend all that extra dough on the tools to get the job done. As renters, a hammer and a screwdriver were pretty sufficient - now we own Home Depot.
