Elbow grease here we come!

Friday we finally get the keys to our new abode :) Apart from the immediate changing of the locks my Dad is coming to repair the electrical wiring since he has a licensed electrician on staff and Jim, my father in law is installing a new plumbing pipe so we have water!

Saturday is going to be a busy day in the King family. In the morning I plan on cleaning the new place from top to bottom (except for the carpet cleaning that we have to schedule) and putting up drapes all over the place. Then it is off to Adaline's first birthday party for her little friend before crashing on the couch at home that evening. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking of all that!

Sunday is painting day and I can't decide if I am going to paint Adaline's room (purple) first or the den (blue). We have another birthday party in the afternoon and then once again I plan on crashing.

After that all we have to do before moving in is to:

1. Paint and replace a few deck boards
2. Have the carpets cleaned and the pest control person spray
3. Replace the carpet in the hall and Den.
4. Install the A/C that my Dad is getting for the house.
5. Put up the fence -- Adaline needs a safe place to play and the septic needs to be blocked off.
6. Paint the master bedroom
7. Actually move all our stuff for the last time.

I will post before and after pics of the paint transformations!
