Home improvements

This week has been a busy week for us which started last week Thursday. We started by buying a new furnace and air conditioner which will be installed tomorrow. Nothing was technically wrong with our furnace, but after we had some repairs done to it last year around this time, the furnance repair man said that it needed to get replaced ASAP. We were fortunate to be able to postpone ASAP for a year, which works out pretty well for us. Not only were we able to save up some of the money, but we will also have 1 year to pay for it in addition to receiving some of the stimulus money next year for the home improvement.

Then today, I went and purchased new carpeting for the family room. That however, won't be installed until either June or July. I wanted to have time to paint the room before the new stuff was installed. Plus, I didn't want to have to deal with doing all that while I was still working. If I wait until at least June, then I will be done with work for the summer. I'm really looking forward to getting the new stuff installed. Now if I can just keep the kids from eating down there. I have a couple months to break them of the habit. :) I will be sure to post before and after pictures when all is complete.
