So here's a picture of our new place, but wait! Just when I couldn't think it could be any better, it does!
I got a call and a few messages from my friend who owns the house. Here's the gist of what we were told:
1. Since her husband and his regular contractors are all available to work for the next few weeks, they're going to totally remodel/renovate the home!
2. The master bath was pretty sad, so that's getting a total remodel.
3. The kitchen is in need of updating so it's all been ripped out, the ceilings raised, there'll be new, taller cabinets, new countertops, probably an L-shaped kitchen installed instead of the U-shape it was, and possibly even an island added!
4. Because the flooring is all mismatched and some looks bad from where carpets were ripped up, new tile is going in and all the cement floors (which we've always wanted) will stay, but be painted.
5. The funky island colors will all be painted a nice, neutral beige kind of color.
6. As if that's not enough - they even decided to bring in a landscaping company to clean the yard up before we get there.
7. Best news yet? - It's all scheduled to be completed, ready for us to move in, the Friday before the week we've rented our moving truck!
I'm just so grateful, thankful, and appreciative of such blessings. I consider it an honor to be trusted to care for their (now like-new) home for the next year or so. After that, we're hoping to buy and they're hoping to rent it for what it's worth, which will be so much more with all the work they're doing. I am truly blessed by God, through wonderful friends.
