New House

Well yesterday as most of you know was the closing on Hannah and I’s first house on 2805 Francis St. in Yankton.  Very stressful day but a good night’s sleep was much needed last night to clear the mind!  Made a few phone calls to get new gutters put on by Merkel Siding in the upcoming weeks since the hail beat them up pretty bad late last year.  Painting will be the first thing on the agenda since the whole house needs it (inside and out).  After the painting we plan on getting the carpets cleaned and air ducts as well since we have all of these wonderful Midwest allergies.  Last week I purchased a new storm door at Lowes for the front of the house with a nickel finish that will look pretty sharp.  Thanks to Mr. Brown last night we had a few Summer Shandy’s and gave Hannah’s parents (Gary and Cindy), James and Erin, Janet and Galen, all a tour of the house.  I put them to work right away because there was some “Chinese” window clings on the windows that were fried on and needed to be removed with a few razor blades.  I wanted to keep them but Hannah would not let me.  I plan on taking a before and after video of the house because I remember Mom and Dad doing the same with there’s.  Definitely would be something fun to look back on.  I’ll get that out to everyone since some of you can’t actually see the house yet or won’t be able to see the before affect!  This morning Scott Hansen came out to the house to put new locks on so at least we know it’ll be safe and secure.  Friday when Hannah gets back we’ll start to do a little painting and Saturday we plan to get most of the interior painted with Mom and Dad’s help!  Next week I will be gone to Minnetonka, MN for some American Family training so we hope to get a good kick start on the house before I leave.  I will be sending everyone updates on the house not only just to keep you guys informed but it will also help us think of what we all need to do.  Come join the fun!
