Tonight, was the sold-out Tool concert at Sprint Center in KC. Paul really wanted to go and I didn't. I did however manage to score him a ticket two days before the concert so he could go by himself and have fun and play. But while Paul plays, what will Jennifer do. Jennifer cleaned the living room. Now this sounds like an menial task, but our living room was filled with Rubbermaid tubs and boxes that needed to be put in the correct storage location or unpacked. The "furniture" had to be arranged as well.
I wish I had a before picture, but I never took one because I never wanted to remember it! Below is the living room arranged. Notice the blinds that are stained orange in the upper half. This was because the previous homeowner was a man and didn't know how to clean! I am debating tackling that tonight!
I would love to see Paul's surprised face when he arrives home, but I would rather be asleep!
It's been a while since we've posted but we've been busy! We are buying a house! We close this week and get the keys on Easter. This means... we are staying in KC! Paul has switched districts from KPC to KPE! I am currently working to find a full-time teaching job or a full-time job with Kiewit. We will see what pans out but it could be weeks before I hear anything!
After looking through the pictures Paul took of the house, I am finding that he shouldn't quit his job and become a photographer for Real Estate listings. Maybe for an inspector, but not listings!
The house is 4 Bedroom, 3 bath in Lee's Summit. It is a Front to Back split-level, so we have 5 levels to the house.
Level 1- Sub Basement - aka New workout room!
Level 2 - Basement - Family room, 3rd bathroom and 4th bedroom - aka Man Cave
Level 3 - Living Room, Entry, Garage
Level 4 - Dining Room, Kitchen, 2nd and 3rd Bedrooms and 2nd bathroom
Level 5 - Master Suite - Jacuzzi Tub, shower, large walkin closet which we will expand into the attic above the garage!
Backyard - Large, Fenced and Deck. Perfect for Porsche and Beamer! Too bad Beamer is going to have to overcome her fear of climbing stairs that are open backed!
Below are some pictures from the Listing. I will post pictures as we do our projects. We have to refinish the wood floors, stain the deck and fence, paint the bedrooms, expand the master closet and shower, tile the master bathroom, Closet storage systems, Garage Storage system, Mud room in garage, Doggie Bath Station in Garage... and the list goes on!
An open house is in our future... who knows how far into the future!
