My parents generously offered to come down and spend several days working on the house before we moved in.  Olive and I drove down to meet them at our house and we were BUSY for a week.  Tune back in because I'll be posting LOTS of DIYs that we tackled next week. 

I realize that my list is long and we'll probably never get to everything on this list. I'm okay with that.  I might just grow to love certain things or realize that they aren't a priority once we've actually lived in the house for a bit.
