worked in the kitchen previously - either the
bulbs were out or the wires needed repair)

The bathroom got a makeover
bathtub got "refinished" from 1960's baby blue

Well, I'm finally living at the house -- my first night at the house was Sun. August 10th. My sofa (from my rental) got moved that day, and well, since I had nowhere to sleep, it was off to the new house I go! I had to wait for the decking to be repaired as access to the house was limited. The deck repairs took two weeks in total. I would be working with a handyman at the house and then going back to my rental to clean, clean, clean. So it was busy for a while. Currently, I'm still unpacking boxes and having handyperson work done to add finishing touches like new light fixtures, etc. There are some housing repair issues such as outdoor drainage and a small foundation job are next on the list before the california rains come in the fall. What is small?! It is an area where stucco meets the ground and this is not good for rain season. The hot tub got a new part installed and a thorough cleaning. The hot tub is very nice and relaxing. The house was purchased with the understanding that the dishwasher didn't work, so it will get repaired this week via home warranty services. Yahoo. It is also nice to enjoy summer and get outdoors. And of course, SCHOOL starts soon. Good timing because I'm out of money! Here are some updated photos.
