April 27th was a huge day!! And as soon as we were out of the law office post closing we were on to condo stuff. It's a good thing we started that day because reality soon kicked in and reminded us that we had 35 days to get the condo ready and move out of our current apartment. Normally people would think 'oh a month to paint some walls and move your stuff, awesome no big deal.' This was not going to be your typical move.
Here is our initial Phase 1 list:
DIY:
*Clean condo top to bottom- every inch no matter how small (thank you Grandy for passing this OCD down the line)
*Paint ceilings, moldings and walls of 3 bedrooms, kitchen, hallway, living room, dining room, pantry
*Sand and paint all interior doors (total count = 8 doors)
*Replace all door knob...as i said before not a single one works
*Paint and rebuild shelving in 4 closets (Chris' favorite part...Coop you better be ready)
As much as we wanted to be all Do It Yourselfers, let's be serious there are some things you should just leave to the professionals.
*Replace all appliances
*Completely renovate bathroom
*Get hardwood floors redone
Boy did we have our work cut out for us...and little did we know that when we actually started Phase 1...each of those bullets gained 5 extra sub bullets.
It's times like these I wish Tool Time was still around. I think i would appreciate the actual tools/what to do & more frequently NOT to do lessons from Tim the Tool Man Taylor and Al Borland.
Just in case you were curious what the old gang is up to:
