Housewarming party

I had my housewarming party on Saturday and it went really well. It was a lot of fun to have people I care about come and see what I've been spending so much time working on. I hope to remember to post some updated photos here soon. I'll send myself a reminder.

Housewarming Party

Since I've done all this hard work on my condo I have decided to have a housewarming party this weekend. I'm looking foward to having my friends and family come over and see my new home and all that I've been able to do to the place. It feels like the hard work has paid off and that the next round of work is purely for me. :)

I have yet to hear about my property taxes and my tax credit. :(

No news yet

I haven't heard anything from my appeal of my property tax. I also have yet to receive in the mail my $8000 tax credit. I guess 6-8 weeks is longer than I thought (it feels like it should be here by now, but it hasn't been 8 weeks yet).
I have one small project going at the moment. At some point someone converted a closet into a little alcove in the front room. They never took the time to fully repair the walls from the closet shelves and closet doors. So I’m taking the time to make it look nice before I paint and have a housewarming party.
It has been kind of nice to take a break from all the “construction” that I’ve been doing. I keep seeing new projects to complete, but all in all, I’m content where things are. That is a nice place to be.
