The Joys of Home Ownership

Yes, they've begun. :) Thankfully, nothing major so far. I was at our house this morning to meet the Best Buy delivery, A/C contractors, and flooring contractors. The A/C should be completely done today, but they won't finish up until tonight. The flooring guys are taking up the carpet in the living room and laying the new floors in there today, as well as putting in the stairs. Tomorrow they'll sand and apply one coat of stain, which is TBD. I'm going to go around lunch tomorrow to pick out the color, but I think we're going to go with a dark walnut. I put some paint colors up on the wall last night, and I think I've picked a paint color for the common areas, but I want to wait until the floors are done to make sure it works.

For the stresser of the day, the dryer hookup is for a gas dryer... and we're 99% sure the seller's disclosure said they had an electric dryer, so that is what we purchased. It isn't a huge deal, but we'll have to have an electrician (or Matt with good instructions) put in a 220 volt outlet (and cap the gas line) so we can plug it in. Also, it's going to be a very tight fit (and may not work) for the washer and dryer in the closet they go in. Yeah, we measured like seven times for the refrigerator but never thought to measure that space. The bi-fold doors may have to go or we might have to figure out something else to make it work (I'm talking an inch, max, of space we need to gain to shut the doors - washer fits but dryer is looking tough due to the vent behind it). This is such a boring post. haha. So, I leave you with a picture of our new fridge, which we LOVE.



I almost forgot to add this picture...
