3814 Renton Ave - Our new home

After almost three months of negotiations, wheeling and dealing, and frustrations... we have our house, sort of! We were granted access to the house yesterday (Saturday) at 6:30pm... by 7pm we were at the house in full demo-mode tearing down the ceiling in the basement and ripping up the carpet. We also baked our very first meal, which was an adventure by itself! Since we are such fabulous planners we had picked up a pizza from Costco for the big event... great planning except we didn't have a knife or pizza cutter, and the oven does not work properly and proceeded to BURN the pizza sending all of the smoke alarms off. By 11pm we had totally finished what we had set out to do. We were extremely dirty, proud and exhausted!

Tonight after my 12-6 open house (www.maisonjisellecondos.com) and Jessica gets off work we are heading back down there to clean out the garage. We need to rip off the ceiling in the garage so we can install a proper electric supply to garage door opener, expose pipes, and add insulation as the bedrooms above the garage are cold due to the lack of insulation. Jessica's uncle Gordy will be meeting us at the property on Tuesday to evaluate what is needed to update the plumbing throughout the house.
