It has been a tough couple weeks! My fiancée and I found a house that we were interested in and we were lucky enough to purchase it. We didn’t move very far from our old location but we did decide to try to get as many small renovations done prior to moving in. Over the past 3 weeks we probably started too many little jobs, but we have almost finished the main floor (including un packing) and my home office was set up over the weekend. The basement is a bit more of a challenge, but we will be able to tackle it a bit more slowly and hopefully with a bit more planning than the main floor.
Here is a brief list of some of the things that we changed. I’m sure that I’ve forgotten a few things, however the list is pretty big for 3 weeks while working a full time job!
- 3 new exterior doors
- Painted every wall on the main floor, with exception to my home office
- Replaced all baseboards on the main floor
- Full renovation of the main bathroom (kept only the bathtub and tub surround, even removed the sub floor)
- Removed 3 walls from basement
- Replaced 700 square feet of flooring (still another 400 to do)
- Removal of stained false ceiling
During the move and renovations, I did not have access to my computer. It was during this time that I was especially glad that I had a smart phone and was able to access my email and respond to the questions that I had. There were a few things that I couldn’t do on my phone but for the most part I was able to keep everyone happy.
Moving when running a home business can be a challenge. I hope to write a list detailing some of the types of companies that you will need to send a change of address to incase you plan on moving as well.
