Happy Labor Day! And labor we did. Today's mission was to clean from top to bottom for our inspections this week: electrical, smoke detectors and rough framing. We moved the left over items out of the attic, second floor and first floor and into Mark's Uncle Mark's barn (I know that sounds confusing but that's nothing-there are two more Marks in the family. Makes remembering names easy). These are pieces we want to keep for ourselves or sell because they are antiques. Mom and Dad came up to help us clean which was very helpful. We had three vacuums going at once and filled them all with dust. My pride and joy are the bookshelves, can not WAIT to get my collection in there! I gave them a good dusting and cleaning today. We put many items outside on a table marked "free" and had a lot of shoppers. It's hard to let go of these great items but we have our own things to bring into our home, so unfortunately we have to get rid of the previous owner's belongings somehow. Our second adventure today was at Lowes. They had a great sale going on appliances this weekend. We got 10% off each appliance and an additional 10% off with a second coupon (we were surprised we could use both but didn't say a word)! We opened two Lowes cards and already used up our credit. With the card we get 18 months interest free financing. Now the trick is to actually pay it off on time ;). Yay electrolux appliances!
