Rickey needs to check out the Norm Abram fellow you speak of. The bones to the house are indeed strong and yet there's tons of opportunity for improvement. Quite ideal.<br /><br />Mrs. Smitty: many thanks! We can't wait to move our furniture in next Saturday and officially start living in our new house!Rickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773465359487671887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-25868658983570955752010-01-19T17:05:41.607-05:002010-01-19T17:05:41.607-05:00Kids will learn to crawl faster on carpet from our...Kids will learn to crawl faster on carpet from our experience.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-64925049817110333252010-01-19T16:00:06.503-05:002010-01-19T16:00:06.503-05:00Our first house had nice hard wood floors undernea...Our first house had nice hard wood floors underneath ugly crappy pink carpet. We took way too long to remove that carpet. We also had a kid while living in said house with hardwood floors, he seems to have survived just fine. And hardwood is a lot easier to clean up various kid-related messes!<br /><br />Congrats again! There's nothing quite like spending that first night in your new house. Even home improvement projects are more fun when it's yours.Mrs. Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190831302454765121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-10844412602537640502010-01-19T13:21:02.596-05:002010-01-19T13:21:02.596-05:00FYI- Bob Villa is a know-it-all asshole.
