For Rent

Hello September... 3 weeks later.

Ok, so we closed on our rental house. Yay! I've been hanging out over there and making a mile long to do list (I accidentally wrote "to go list", which is way more accurate.)

I really want to learn how to be more handy around the house. So now is the time. The house really doesn't need much work. A good scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint will take it a long way. But there is some dry wall stuff that needs to be repaired and some leaky sinks. Nothing big, but enough to be overwhelming to someone who considers hanging a picture on the wall to be big time construction work.

The entire house is white inside. I really tried to talk myself into just keeping it all white, because it really would be a ton easier to repaint it. But I can't do it. It's against my religion to have an all white house. I refuse! So I picked out a nice beige. Which I know, isn't much better than white in a lot of people's eyes. But I do have to keep it neutral.

I laid out a surprise picnic in the empty house tonight. That was kinda fun. We ate sandwiches, grapes, and brownies. Then played a board game. It was also when we realized that the AC isn't turning on. Which was a shocker because it was working before. So, blah. One more thing added to my "to go list".

But I'm excited. I should take some pictures so I can have a before and after shot. That way you can see all my handy work. :)
