Homeownership = a never ending to do list

So now that we are proud homeowners we've started updating some things in the house. The biggest concern was the electrical and the simple task of changing out a box has turned into needing to rewire the entire house. There goes our budget. Luckily Allan is a really good handyman and while talking to the electrician they decided that Allan could run all the wire through the house and add outlets since there is a total of 6 upstairs and none are in the bedrooms. So off to home depot we went. Of course we didn't bring the shopping list the electrician gave us. I hope we got everything and everything we got is what was needed.

This is what's been giving the house power. Like those nice wires that are exposed at the bottom. We're amazed that the house hasn't burnt down.

I've also been working on peeling wallpaper and lots of wallpaper there is to peel. This was in the kitchen where there is a total of 7 layers of paint and paper not only on the walls but also on the ceiling. Let's just say I'm never putting wallpaper up in my house ever.


And here is my little helper. When it was time to go home I put her in the car ran inside to grab something and came out to find her like this. Seriously it was less than 2 minutes.
