Homeownership: Day 1

I am tired.

Mike and I got our keys this morning at 9 am. Being alone in the house with no real estate agent was strange. Knowing it was ours was strange. But the strange feels soon turned to joy when we got to do some demo work. FUN!

We ran into 2 small issues today.
1. there were 2 holes in the fire place under that facade thingy
2. the floor tile in the master bathroom was not complete but hidden by a bath mat.
No biggie on either. The previous owners left us a few boxes of tiles so we can fix the floor no problem. Mike is confident that he can fix the fireplace up too.

We primed SO much today. We have 2 spots left to prime. Mike is an AMAZING painter. I never knew. Our bedroom is 90% complete, once it is all the way done I will take pictures. PS on the bedroom: dark brown stripes suck to cover up.

So I would rate our first day as homeowners a complete success. It is a great feeling having completed the biggest purchase a person makes in life. We are so happy!
