So this is a thing right now with Home Depot.
Seriously we were going to be about 3K over budget on the styles of appliances we wanted... but thankfully Tis' the Season to buy appliances! No seriously, we have been told for months by a ton of people at Best Buy, H H Greg, Lowes, and Home Depot to just wait... The July sales are the best all year. They were not kidding!
Like I touched on earlier in my posting the smaller the fridge is the more expensive it is, we thankfully got a lot off of that higher price tag from this sale. Washer & Dryer have about $300 off for each unit. Dishwasher a good $300 cheaper. We did take a chance with the double ovens. I loved what I had read about the GE Profile series but they are coming out with an upgrade, so with no reviews but the ones from the older model we took a chance and ordered it. By the time we get it delivered there should be plenty of reviews out there on it and I have the option to exchange it for something else.
The jury is still out on the wine fridge we are putting in.
Ooo! Almost forgot to mention that since we were getting 6 appliances we got an additional $400 off! Plus our 5 year warranty on each one we got 10% off!
SCORE!!!!
While finishing our purchase at the HD we had a few gift cards from the wedding we wanted to apply to this so we had to be taken up front... apparently there was a man that had been waiting the whole hour we were working on this order (just getting the order processed, we had priced it out the week before) as Bob (our salesman) told the man he would be right back the man decided it would be a great time to FLIP OUT! Long story short... we were over it and snapped right back at him. Come on! Seriously! We just picked out SIX Large appliances and you need a mini fridge! MINI FRIDGE!?
RELAX.
Today was FOAM SEAL DAY!
What once looked like this...
Now looks like this!!!
It was seriously cool! Its not your old school pink panther insulation! They come in and spray it on and it expands to all the nooks and crannies of the roof and it changes how EVERYTHING sounds now!
Its sooo much more peaceful in the house. Its also going to help with our heating and cooling costs on just the pre-limb Energy Efficiency ratings we are at an 83% This Foam sealant actually as of recently has a fire retardant in it as well! By the time the house is finished the crawl space should be about the same temp as the rest of the house (maybe a little bit more because our roof is black).
We headed out today while at work to pick out our paver driveway! We went with a dark color on this as well to tie in the roof to the ground. Yep, thats the door... Nope, you cant see anymore.
Okay! SURPRISE! Door handle! Boom. Tell me these dont look like a real castle door handle!? Goodness gracious I love this door. I'm still kinda mad at it but it being so pretty is helping its case. The lines alone on this handle are so sexy.
We have been picking up paint chips for weeks now. I have seen every single color known to man at this point. I dont have anymore room in my brain for another color! Ha who am I kidding, sure I do. I'll one day make something out of all these paint chips... just you wait and see!
We tried our first 3 actual paint samples on the block today.
This is going to be a tough one. As we were painting these on the wall the crazy raccoon lady came out of her house to stand and watch, we then knew she was headed over to talk to us when her boyfriend called out to the kids to go over there with her. Well we had ruled out the blue color, she walked up to us and said that we should pick the blue color. Right. Got it. No. On the plus side she did tell us how beautiful our door is! Yay! We are leaning more with the middle color possibly a little less olive and maybe a little more tan but thats something we will just have to try out more samples with!
I call these my little hieroglyphs. Its fun to find these little gems here and there... its like finding out what was said while we were at work :)
We originally got two of these mirrors for the master bathroom, but with the change in the lights we are actually moving one into another bathroom and taking the second one back. I love the lines of this mirror. Just something so interesting about it.
Also Gabe (our go to guy for anything outside) stopped by the house to spray our grass and weed problem afterwards he headed by our workplace to talk about some other things he is going to be doing for us very soon... He couldnt believe how tall everything was and he said it was quite a lot of work! Yea! I know this first hand. It was completely out of control... then he decided he wanted to buy our car. Yep my sweet little (not so little) Pathfinder is going off to a new home this weekend. I told him he had to take it with all the dog hair in it! Sad face, back to my Highlander that was named after a pair of tighty whities. :( Yea its white and ugly. One of those things that everyone loves to have but doesnt want anyone else to know they have it. Ha!
Gabe also pulled up a bunch of these... if anyone has any idea what they are please let me know! Apparently they are taking over! Weird!
