07/20/2009: "Finally Got our Foyer Painted and HVAC Installed TODAY!!!"

What a difference it makes. No more crayon scribbles and nasty walls! We finally got our taxes and paid to have someone paint our foyer for us... God it feels good. Now we just have to get those stairs fixed so we don't have the ugly stained carpet.

And to top it all off, our HVAC was installed TODAY! It’s a hybrid system (heat pump and gas) that we accidentally saved an additional $3000 on because the guy screwed up the quote… we’re paying $7600 for the furnace and AC because they were having a sale where you got the furnace half off and money off the AC unit. We were supposed to save $3,000 and we’re ending up saving $6,000 due to the mix up. Not too bad (I’ll take a $13,000 system at the $7600 price tag). AND it’s super efficient and we’ll qualify for the home efficiency credit next year on our taxes. I can’t wait to sleep tonight in comfort.

We also finished painting all the shutters (22 in all) and the front door Fourth of July weekend, so I plan to get a picture up soon.

Slowly but surely, it's coming along. The last big ticket item to replace now (besides the bathrooms inside and the flooring) is the roof, which we'll probably do next year.

That's what homes are- never ending projects that take our money! We start having our ceiling done Monday- will post progress!
