Day 20 - Daddys back! - Part 1

Yay, my dad survived the flight back down to Missouri.

Planning on staying until Sunday, June 12th. Hoping to get assistance for some major projects I wanted to complete.

Here is what we have so far, after a day and a half. Spent 3 1/2 hours in Lowes. One rental truck later we have enough to keep us busy until Wednesday at least.

    Before

    After

The old bell was rusted, the new one illuminates and looks pretty nice. Going to paint the spot where the old one existed so it does not look like an eye sore.

Dad was able to get the closet doors in already, trim and paint to follow. Plenty more in store for this part of the house.

Dad spent probably 2 1/2 hours on the non existent front storm door. Very nice design, Dad seemed pleased with it when everything was done. Works really nice, little extra shelter and added security for Dawn and Noah.

Only down fall may be if the drive by inspectors take a look at what has been done, may add to the value of the house making the payment higher.

Lastly, our very own washer and dryer, YAY!

So here is the back story on this. I went to the store 'American' last Saturday, pretty sure PA does not have any. They sell appliances, furniture, and electronics. They had a special for Memorial day on a GE washer and dryer set. 698.00 marked down from 499.99 each. I put a 10% down payment to hold for this past Saturday pickup, at the time I was told they had none in stock but should get a few in 2 weeks. I could not wait that long, not enough clean laundry left.

So I went to Home Depot with my paperwork and they had the same unit. I got them to price match + 10% additional off. Then I went to Lowes, and did the same thing. I also have my 10% moving coupon to apply to my order. Overall nice set for 507.00 + tax.

Now we have everything hooked up, however, the dryer is scraping, even though we have it level and we are investigating why. Stay tuned may have more on this in next few days. For now, here are the pictures.

Oh also, if you decide to comment this week, please let my Dad know how wonderful a job he is doing and what an asset he is to the family.
