We bought a condo!!! Yes, we secured a foreclosure and although the possession date is today, our work started several weeks ago!
For the next few weeks, I will chronicle our renovation experiences and you can follow our progress!
So prior to today, I have been busy arranging insurance, utilities, and securing product. Our goal is to be done in 3 weeks.
We got a late start as we were to have possession originally on July 2, but there was a little back and forth with lawyers and today we finally closed.
I have ordered cabinets, bought bathroom vanity for upstairs. The Home Depot had dual flush toilets on sale, so they are sitting in my living room! I’ve picked out the backsplash tile, flooring. Got some deals at Restore on some bathroom vanity sinks. Also caught some deals at Park Lighting just today!
We got possession late in the day today, but we were able to get some demo done this evening.
The dumpster arrives tomorrow!
