We Bought A House!

Our first home was on the market for a total of 7 days. We were one of 4 offers on our home and are very happy the selling family chooses us! Even the relator admitted it was a fixer upper. The 2 bed, 2 bath, ranch style home was dated and in need of some tender loving care. The first time we walked into the home we commented on how dark it was. Dark wood paneling lined the walls; dark brown shag carpet flowed through the house. The ceiling was popcorn and there were only two rooms in the house with overhead lighting. But the land was what we were really buying. 7 archers on the river, with 3 outbuildings and beautiful views make this home amazing.

Now all we needed to do was roll up our sleeves and put the shine on this home. We could not have done this remodel without the help of our friends and family. So to start I want to say thank you to Greg and Mari who helped paint for hours on their weekend, and who installed our beautiful tile in the front entry of our home. I want to thank Paul and PJ for donating their lightly used carpet and to Floors and Moor in La Pine for installing it. A BIG THANK YOU to Tammy and Rex for spending countless days and nights by my side as I leaned what home ownership and renovation was all about. I really could not have done it without you! And finally my amazing husband who was a great support. We still have a long way to go on fixing up this home but we are excited for what the future holds.
