Finally finished!

I don't usually resort to crazy sized fonts, but here goes... my house is finally done!!!!

I'm pretty excited about it. The city has inspected and it's no longer condemned. Sweet, huh? I had my final walk through today. There were a couple of things that need to be fixed, but they'll get that done. They apparently broke one of the lights on the fan in my living room, so they're going to replace that. That means I've got new paint all over, new carpet all over, new fire detectors, and now a new light fixture in the living room. Pretty sweet.

They also have to fix a light in the master bedroom and do some touch up painting. The contractors should be out of my hair entirely by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. My money is on Wednesday, with how long everything has taken, but that's still ok. I'm going to move back in to my place this weekend!!! I'm pretty excited about it. Hopefully the curse of conference weekend bad weather won't be severe enough that I can't get my stuff back in. I'll post pictures and stuff of the new paint and carpet later.

Oh, and thanks Jared and Liz for letting me crash at your place for so long! I'm sure you'll be happy to be rid of me. :-)

This is fabulous news. I didn't know that you were getting all new carpet...even better. That's really awesome. Glad you can FINALLY be back in your place.

Hurray!!! You will have to have a re-housewarming party. :) And if you find Matt's Kremer poster, he is sadly missing it.
