We had to move in to the house while it was in this condition over thanksgiving weekend. The mortgage company was not clear with working with us by giving us a closing date. we got a remodeling loan so that we didnt have to come up with the money up front for the house, and that meant that we had to work with contractors for the work that needed to be done which pushed our time line out a lot. closing was set for the first week of november so that we could have the work done and the walls and flooring done before we moved in.   but turns out we didnt get to close until the day before thanksgiving and that was when we had to move and get out of the apartment. sooooooo   we moved in to the bright pink bed room for a few weeks and lived with out hot water and a few appliances.  luckily we were able to get our fridge and stove delivered the day we closed and moved in,  because it was a holiday weekend everyone was extra hard to work with and were all headed out of town....lol   it was horrible looking back...... also i got really really really sick,  like puke in the isle at walgreens sick....... but with no days off and no more people to help we had to keep going lol.
here are the after pictures!!
we pulled up the old flooring and did stained concrete in the main room down the hallways and in the bedroom we did a black stain in the main room its a brownish stain. every wall in the whole house was painted gray. we will go back and customize walls and rooms later. also redid the trim in every room.  painted every door,   fixed and or replaced light fixtures in 4 rooms.... the lights didnt even work at all in the master bedroom and the fire place room,  nick had to re wire all the lights. replaced every door knob and the fixtures in the bathrooms......  uhm..... replaced appliances, kitchen sink,  added disposal and changed out the faucet..    replaced the molded cabinets and fixed leaks in pipes....

whew  lol    things left to do before all the people come for wils baptism in april....  paint cabinets and add crown molding. replace bathroom faucets and paint cabinets in there......  and i think that might be it.........   hhmmmmm  get another couch for fire place room too,
