Earthquake & hurricane damage: Our carpet got soaked in an area of our current home in the basement during the hurricane, because apparently during the earthquake we got two foundation cracks. SMH...we have lived there 4 years without ever getting water damage in the basement. With boxes and crap all around we had to pull up the carpet and have someone come out so that we could get new carpet installed for our renter by next week. All I was thinking is that it could have been worse and I am happy it happened, before the renter moved in.
The new house had no visible damage from the earthquake or hurricane other than the yard sunk in in some areas and Ryan plans to fix it this week.
Also I have been meaning to post but things have been so hectic I cannot even begin to explain, we have had to do soooooo many things that I feel like my brain is spinning. I can barely keep up with the emails and the to do list is never ending! Like Ravenna Rant & HW both said, the inbox is cluttered, house is in shambles (but packed), and as soon as I scratch and item off my list, two more pop up. lol...I feel like a nut and not to mention I packed our iron so this week I have been semi wrinkled at work lol and smh!
Here are a few things we have purchased:
LG steam washer & dryer
Samsung 59 inch slim 3D smart plasma TV
King Sleigh bed from Haverty's
Sealy king size plush pillow top mattress (not shown)
Curtain Rods (not shown)
Make sure you have the stores to price match because we saved a ton of money doing that for our electronics! I have a loooong laundry list of things I still need to purchase, but I am going to take it one day at a time and just get the essentials. I am a nut so you will have pictures with in the next few days because I cannot rest until my house is in order! lol...It will be old things in the new place, but I will show you what we have....anywho happy building and WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR KEYS TODAY!!!!! Yaaaaay! lol
Go Chelly!!! I love the stuff you bought. I have been debating on buying a new washer/dryer set or moving our front loaders with us and just buying the basic ones for the renter. The ones I want cost 2k so I thought I would penny pinch and not buy them. Love the bed ofcourse because I have one similar but the TV you will have to let me know about because I just read up on it last night after seeing on in an HHGreg sales paper. Wonder how that would be being able to connect to the internet through an app on my TV...That is some Jetson type stuff. Anyway hope closing goes quickly so you can get those keys and go in and make a carpet angel on your new floors, LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteWahooooo....Congrats Chelly....we are soooo excited for you and know how you, HW, and Ranter are feeling and we still have 22 days left. I knew you guys would beat us to the finish line, but we have soooo much stuff still to do to get ready to move that the 22 days doesn't seem long enough. Can't wait to see pictures of your new HOME. Good Luck with closing...I can see the big smile on your face from here :)
