I've had water for quite some time. Apparently there's no issue turning that on after they collect your deposit money... But gas and electric need to have vacancy inspections when those utilities have been off for more than six months, which mine was, and that involves lots of coordination and professional work. So on Monday the gas company and electric company came out to officially turn on those utilities! I tested out my gas stove and I am soooooo excited to start cooking on it! Now I'm teasing my folks to not turn on the lights because I have to pay for it now :)
This is a great milestone for me because it means I can really move forward with getting the house ready for me to move in. I've got some spaces ready to be primed. The kitchen cabinets are almost done (more on that later!). The plumbing and electrical work is done (definitely another post for this!).
Of course, it seems every time I go to the house something else comes to light that should/needs to happen. For instance, the carpets. I hate carpet and these are disgusting (smells like dog!) but I was going to attempt to just shampoo them to keep my costs down. Well, we've come to the conclusion that the carpet really does need to go however replacing it is not in the budget! Guess I'll just have plywood floors with rugs for a while :)
Here's a sneak-peek photo!
