remodeling

It's all down hill from here! We've finished sanding the baby room and we're half way finished with patching the office walls from all the gouges. At this point we need to prime the baby room and then paint. We need to finish in the office so we can do the same thing. Then we have to buy new carpet, i think we're going with a freize (sp?) of some kind and we're hoping to hear what the status is on our windows soon. We're getting Millgard windows because they're top of the line and we're getting a good price. After that we'll probably rip out all the carpet, vacuum really well because all the dust from sanding, and replace the pad and carpet. We're not too sure on whether to paint before or after putting in new carpet. We'll probably paint before and then if anything happens we'll touch it up after. The other thing we need to do is the flooring in the kitchen and replace the cabinets and counter tops as well. Then when the back rooms are all done and the kitchen is cleared we can move everything out of the living room and texture, prime, and paint in there as well. So the lesson we've learned from this house is to never buy any house that has been wallpapered, let alone with FIVE LAYERS like our house. Anybody want to come over and help?
