Termite tent is off and more work to commence!

The tent is off and the windows have been ordered!



Additionally, I am ordering the kitchen cabinets + counter tops. It looks like we may be going with white, paneled cabinets, stone-tile counter tops, and stainless steel appliances, if we can find a fridge that is stainless steel and counter-depth.





I have written the deposit check to Sierra Windows, but this week they will also need $1502.00 more for Sierra, so with cabinets and paint costs alone, we will need to re-up funds.



I am trying to fit the windows into the budget of $20,000, instead of $25,000. It looks like we will have something much nicer looking for the $25,000, but I really want to save the owners that last $5,000. For right now, I think receiving the next amount of $10,000 will put us in a position to be able to move faster, as Jan 1st is coming up and we also need to get moved into the house!



Next up is paint, we will need a painter to help us paint the taller areas of the house, but we think we will be able to paint the inside with no problem. We will have a helper or two to help us paint the interior and possibly even exterior.



The house looks great! With new windows and a new kitchen, it will look like a new house on the inside!



I am still researching the exterior yard project; trying to find the least expensive way to proceed with the front yard...
