Our first renovation project

We're remodeling our soon to be primary residence, and learning as we go. We bought it as a foreclosure and plan to eventually rent it out, but for now we're moving in May 1st and renting out our current home. I didn't realize all of the work involved, but I am enjoying the challenge. The only thing I'm missing is the time away from my daughter, but I think it is definitely worth it. So far we've fixed all the cracks in the drywall, replaced toilets, sprayed new texture, primed, painted, put in new vinyl flooring in the bathroom, took out old carpeting. Still have a long list ahead of us. I will update as we continue!
