We are new homeowners!
We’re so excited and thankful for our 1956 home!
It’s a fixer-upper for sure, and we’re working with one of our best friends and the best contractor in town (shout out to Eric!) to fix it up in the next 6-8 weeks. Just a few things that will be changed: new A/C unit/thermostat, hot water heater, roof, windows, electrical box updated, exterior/interior paint, vinyl, bathrooms (vanity/tub/mirrors), three walls knocked out, sheetrock, kitchen, light fixtures, all flooring, landscaping, etc. We hope to update it to a “retro modern” look. It needs alot of love! 
We closed this morning and will begin the project tomorrow with Exterior paint. Yay!
Many of you have asked about the house and wanted to see it, so I thought we would post before, during and after photos for you to check out. Here are a few to start out with:

congratulations!! My husband retired from the Air Force last year. We purchased out first home shortly there after. It’s so nice knowing you can paint or rip up a rug whenever you feel like it.

Yeah! Congrats! I’m so happy for you. So what’s the new address? Good luck with all of the fix-up work. I’m sure it will be great and the best part is you can do what YOU want to do!

Hey there — Congratulations to you both! And a huge thank you for allowing me to be a part of this new “big adventure” in your life. Thanks so much for your trust as we worked through the buying process from beginning to end. I truly can’t wait to see your new home once all the renovations are complete. Props to Eric Dill — work your magic, young man!
