Work is Underway

I spent the last three days in KC and got to spend some time over at the house. Our first two projects are complete and I have to say this whole hiring someone else to do the work seems to be the way to go. The floors look great, here are some before and after shots.

The true "before" was a heavy old dirty and disgusting blue carpet. I couldn't bring myself to post those images, I'm just happy its gone!

Also installed this week, a brand new energy efficient furnace and tankless hot water heater. Not a very exciting improvement but a big chunk of our renovation budget. Here's to $10 utility bills this winter!

Before: 50+ year old furnace, still kicking but we were warned it would suck down gas like nobody's business. Also a hot water heater that was at the end of it's lifespan...

And after... I don't know a lot about this equipment but since it cost so dang much money I can't skip over posting this improvement.

Up next: We are leaving VA on the 30th! Off to the beach for a few days before we land in KC to wait for our stuff to arrive. Stay tuned for the next project, we might actually get our hands dirty.
