Home Preparation Checklist

We have come a long way in just 10 days of getting our "Transition home transitioned"! All the yellow highlighted items need to be completed for the home to be ready to move in. Everything else is cosmetic that can be completed as money and time allows. Jake is focusing mainly on Flooring and handyman fixes and installations. I am focusing on the cleaning and painting. We help each other out as need as well.

Last night was fun. My sister took B to Big Lots.. it's their special place to go together. Jake and I had a lot of fun and got a lot of work done in just a few hours. He did the kids bathroom floor and installed the toilet. I prepped the walls in his office for painting and was his helper while moving one toilet from one side of the house to the other. Helping, as in, following him with a rag to catch the drips... This is where you say ew! (we are switching the toilets to have the nicer one in the hallway bath.
