{ HAPPY ONE YEAR }

… one year ago today we signed endless papers; turned a key; celebrated with friends and family; toasted with tequila; danced in an empty living room to the music in our heads; filled an air mattress; and started the journey to making this house our home.

…since then, we’ve been hard at work crossing items off our to-do list:

Prune out-of-control landscape

Replace the roof

Repair the fascia and eaves

Replace the water heater

Underground electrical service entrance

Upgrade electrical panel

Replace electrical outlets

Replace exterior light fixtures

Replace bedroom ceiling fans

Install new air conditioning system

Repair damaged drywall in ceiling and walls

Replace window sills

Replace broken window

Install hurricane proof garage door

Install impact resistant patio door

Replace kitchen and rear garage door

Redo linen closet
Paint interior

Paint exterior and

Painted our door red

…today we put a candle on a yummy Publix cheesecake, sang Happy Birthday (seemed like the most appropriate song), and looked forward to the years to come.

{ AND THIS IS HOW I TURNED RED }

…five months ago our door finally turned red and this was how it happened…

  …changing the peephole and hardware…

…wish we could show you our house numbers, but we are still paranoid about that. you’ll have to come visit and see for yourself.

{ FROM THE PROS 2 }

...as we check items off our list, final inspections become inevitable.  and at this point, the patio doors, garage door, and air conditioning system were ready to undergo the scrutiny of city inspectors.  so, we scheduled our first three inspections and the inspectors came in…  as they examined the work, I found myself rooting for inanimate objects.  holding my breath till I heard “this looks good” or “you got your money’s worth.” 

…and finally, we—the doors, A/C system, and us—passed inspection!  what a great feeling.  I imagine it’s similar to what parents feel when their children ace a test.  I want to walk up to the house, high-five it, and say “Way to go kid!  Great job!”  oh, and of course, they are totally getting displayed on the fridge!
