lessons learned in our 24 hours of home ownership

6 gallons of paint is more than enough for a 1200 sq ft house

some people actually like the winnie the pooh wallpaper  

floods happen.

4 trips to LOWE's in one day is still not enough to fix one leaky faucet  

when the sink is not hooked up to the drain and you turn it on, water attacks your ankles

friends are awesome.  especially the married kind. who don't have kids, and have home re-building experience.

parking your car on your front lawn and turning your brights on is not enough to illuminate the living room 

red walls look awesome

visquine is amazing stuff

a gated fence is all you need to keep a dog in the backyard, but nothing stops her from popping all over

nice neighbors who introduce themselves are the perfect people to ask to borrow a flashlight

to find a part at Lowe's, no verbal words are needed. Just show the broken piece to an employee and they will point you in the right direction.  It's a guy thing.

having a water dispenser in your fridge is great for a house full of hard workers, but only if you have plastic cups 

human heads to do not fit in the above mentioned water dispenser. You cannot fit your mouth under the hole and push the button at the same time without squirting yourself in the eye.  

treasure hunts around the yard reveal such necessities as: shovel, saw, garden shears, hoses, box of nuts and bolts, and fortunately- no trash

We are having so much fun with this opportunity to paint and fix a house, working hard together to turn it into our home.  
Stay tuned for more updates!
