Our New House

View of the front of our house

We finally closed on our house!  It is located in Broomfield in a neighborhood called Broomfield Heights.  We took a lot of pictures with our cool new camera.  In fact there are so many pictures the gallery needs a little explaining.  First to get there just click the picture above.  Once you’re there you will see the first 18 items are albums, there are also a few misc pictures near the bottom.  You will find quite a few pictures under each album.  Feel free to look around.    Don’t forget you can always try the ‘View Slideshow’ option.  I will warn you that it will be very slow unless you have a good internet connection.  The pictures are quite large.

The whole process of looking at houses, putting in an offer and going through all the steps  felt like it took forever.  Now we’re finally able to settle in… or we could go in one hour after taking possession and rip up all the carpets!

That’s right we were in there taking out the carpets covering the living room, dining room, master bedroom and 2nd bedroom.  We started around 1:30 or 2 and got done around midnight!  Pretty much everything was sore (hands, legs, back, knees, etc).  It turns out there is a lot more work involved in taking up carpet when you care about what is under the floor.  The results speak for themselves (below).  Even though the finish had yellowed over the years it looked so much better than the carpet.  Of course we couldn’t just leave it there.  We then had the floors sanded down and refinished.  We don’t have pictures yet but we will.  The major problem with the floor was in the master bedroom.  Originally there were three bedrooms on the top floor.  At some point they decided to take out a wall and make a much larger master.  When they did that they never bothered to repair the floor.  We thought it would be a major issue but the guys doing the floor said they could make it look like new for fairly cheap.  So we took them up on the offer.  You probably wouldn’t know it was there if weren’t told about it.  We are really excited to be moving our stuff in there very soon.  We will have more pictures of the refinished floors and more pictures after stuff is in the house.

So now all that is left is for you to come visit us!  Book now, our summer is filling up…
