House Update: Final Details

We are getting really close to being finished with the house! 
(Yes, you read that correctly...)

There is only a bit more touch up painting and a few other odds and ends but after that we will be good to go!  Crazy, isn't it?!?

Now, on to some big accomplishments lately....

We now have a toilet!!!!  Woohoo!! No more dirty Jackson Street Park potties without locks on the door!!

We started painting the outside of the house---no more ugly siding!!  I was out of town on Saturday & my Mom filled in as the slave driver and was adamant that we would have a painted house before we moved in.  She's a mess but I appreciate her keeping the boys in line for me!!

This I why I love the $3 samples from Lowe's...some things turn out SOOOO much different than they look on the card! We went with the middle one!  The other 2 were too bright & dried way too dark.

I wasn't totally pleased with the rough texture that the floors had so I decided another light sand with the palm sander would do the trick and it did!  I think I will be much more pleased with the result now.

Final coat will go on tonight!

The garage is still in a fairly unfinished/ugly state but the house is looking gorgeous!!  
I love the exterior paint color and we even put the shutters on last night!   It is all really starting to come together which is making me extremely excited and anxious to get moved in!

Moving starts this weekend!!  Woohoo!

(Yes, I am aware that I used a ridiculous amount of exclamation points in this post but at times I thought we would never make it to this point...so I am just a bit excited!)
