Remember this photo that I shared with y’all back in the day? It was the picture that made Patrick & I come back and take a second look at this house when it came back on the market. And, while the picture is not entirely accurate … we ARE building on and will finally have … More Big news. Big plans.
I haven’t actually recapped our house since moving in. Other than the ½ bathroom, we haven’t done a lot over the past month. It’s been a much needed break. But, now the bathroom has gotten us motivated to jump back on the projects. So, I thought I’d update everyone with where we’re at, now that … More Settled in.
The main level, half bathroom has been torn out since before the floors went in. We’ve gone without a bathroom on the main level for months. (approximately 3 months & 21 days without a first floor bathroom, in a 2-story house, with a reminder that we had been living in a 1200 sq ft ranch … More The Half Bathroom, ✓
We don’t own the Hadley house anymore. We’re going to miss the Oakwood neighborhood. It’s a great place to live and it’s a great house. We did go back to the house one last time right before heading to closing. That was a little retrospective … a lot of stuff happened in our lives in … More First House, Finale.

What was supposed to happen: Thursday, April 27, 2017 – Moving Day Friday, April 28, 2017 … More Hadley Closing.
(Side note, again … I’m behind in posting … so some of this is written in the wrong tense, because it should have been posted like 3ish weeks ago.) So we’re under contract for our first house. It sold in 3 days, and the process has been only a little bit tumultuous. Our realtor is … More Final Fixes on our First House.
Let’s continue … So, Friday night? After we finished working ALL week on the house and felt like it was a mad rush to the finish? We left Cincinnati, headed home, and walked to the Club for food & drinks. It was a nice treat. It’s been more than a few weeks since we’ve … More Hard Stop.
So, we put a final stop date for renovating the new house as Sunday, April 16. That leaves us with 2 full weeks to actually move. And, really, the hard stop for actual house renovations was Saturday, April 15 … because on Sunday we needed to clean – ALL DAY. So, this week, we chugged … More Mad Rush.
So, it seems like we just can’t catch a break with this house. For all the progress we make, it seems like someone else comes in and moves it all a few steps back. Very short version: We bought a new bed, and I cleaned the master bedroom floors … just in time for them … More One thing, and now another.
