Buying a house and painting during Christmas

It has been said that if a couple is capable of making it through re-doing a house, they are capable of making it. Period. We have been looking for a house for over a year. Fortunately we found one. Unfortunately we closed last week which means while we have a beautiful Christmas tree in our condo, we also have boxes everywhere, not to mention the fact that we have way outgrown our condo anyway. 


We are not personally painting our new home, but having it painted. But, we basically will be doing everything else including electrical, some of the plumbing, changing part of the structure, doing the yard work, etc. Freddy is quite amazing and can do any of the aforementioned. I, on the other hand, am quite capable in the area of giving support and helping with the design work. We work well as a team.


As this blog progresses so will you be able to learn with us the process of re-doing a house. First advice: Don't paint the week of Christmas!
