Better After.

I wanted to post pictures of the house we are temporarily living in, mostly for my memory.  It has come a loooong way to say the least.  The first time I saw the house, I was grossed out & felt kinda sick to my stomach.  I know a lot of people said it wasn't that bad and could be a lot worse - which is 100% true.  But the smell.  The smell, was by far the worst part about it. 

Anyway, after four coats of Kilz and several coats of paint and lots and lots of other upgrades, it's not too bad.  The house came with a farm that my in-laws bought and they will rent it out after our house is built so they did all the repairs and upgrades.  My mother-in-law picked out all the appliances (except refrigerator, which came out of our trailer), counter tops, and paint colors. 

The house seems as small as our trailer was.  It's an older house, so the closets are small.  The bedrooms are very small.  When we moved in, I most definitely went back and checked our house plan to make sure the bedrooms will be bigger.  One great thing about it is, I can have the entire house cleaned in one morning!  I know I will miss that. 

We are only living here for a few months, so I packed up everything that we don't have to have.  Hence, the lack of decorating and pictures on the walls.  I'm not trying to make it look pretty...I'll do that with my new house :)  So, that is why it looks bare.

That's the grand tour!!  In case you forgot what the house looked like before, click here.  There is one other bedroom that we use for storage, so it's just boxes.  Really, besides there being only one bathroom, the laundry being outside and no dishwasher, it's not too bad!  But shhh....don't tell Patrick I said that ;)
