That's Soo Tacky!!

While cleaning out the kitchen cabinets we found a bunch of wonderful different Tac Papers from the 60's and 70's that where promptly removed. I actually think some of the retro patterns are kind of cool. Kind of like I enjoy retro 50's publications.

If you are curios what those may look like, take a hop over to Ward Kimball's Blog called the Ward-O-Matic.

In the mean time, here are the snapshots of some swell Tac Papers. Enjoy!

Painting

Last Saturday we started Painting the house. We decided to use Behr Paint since it was rated one of the best by Consumer Reports. It's not like we researched this, I bought the Consumer Reports at an Airport on the way home from a Trip. I bought it because they rated Flatscreen TV's in this issue.

Painting is completed in the Hall and the Main Living Room. Painting is still going on in the kids room. All the wood is taking me the longest. I have finished the primer coat. I am now going through all the wood with Semi-Gloss Enamel. Here is a picture of the room before I started the wood.

Here is another photo of the main room

Thats all for tonight.

We have a ROOF over our heads

Today is the day that the roof is completed.

Tear down of Shake Shingle, re-ply the roof and lay new composite shingles.

First Look

Thought we would post some pictures of the new house in the state it is in for now. There is not a whole lot to do on this house, it was kept in really good condition, it is just old.

Below are the pictures. This is a slide show, you can roll over the picture to pause or move backwards or even forwards.

It's like Christmas Eve!!

The night before we get the key to Dana Place. We are both so excited. 

We cannot wait to get the keys so that we can start the transformation of our new home. 

This home is in a dream area of ours. I remember driving down these streets with my mother when I was little and always wished we could live here.

It seems like the closing process has taken soo long however, it has been a rather short time of 30 days. We have been blessed to have the ability to rent our current house and purchase this new property.

This blog has one main purpose, to share with friends and family,  pictures and stories as we go through the various improvements on this house.

So in the next post, I will post pictures that I recently took on one of our final walk through visits.

In the meantime, here is the first picture from outside.
