HOUSE: Before we move in

Since neither of us need to out of where we're living, we want to take care of some work on the house before we move in. Some of these items we've already started (with the much appreciated help of our parents) but some items are proving to much more difficult to accomplish (such as stripping paint off of the fireplace) and some are much easier than anticipated (such as stripping the wallpaper). More details to come on each individual project. 

Below is the list of things that we want completed before we move in:

•Convert electrical box to circuit breaker.

•Take down the wall by the stairs

•Rip up floors in kitchen and bathroom
