Matt's New House

Matt's New House
The Story: The Siami's were in town and Matt and his mom were driving around Wheaton looking at houses. As they were out on their hunt, a woman pulled over her car and walked up to Matt's window asking if they were looking to buy a house. When Matt responded yes, she asked if he wanted to come look at a place that they had just moved her in-laws out of. Turns out this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom house was just what he was looking for. So with no realtor involved and 2 months later, Matt is officially a homeowner. Aggressive? or Insane?

Week 1: On the Move

Matt hasn't wasted any time during his first week of homeownership.  We're aiming to get as much work done on the house as possible before Matt and Gurak move in at the end of July.

Task #1: Clean out gutters.  The gutters are in such bad shape that they have small plants/trees growing out of them.  Needless to say, they weren't exactly moving water away from the house very well.  On day 1 we spent 7 hours shoveling 2-3 inches worth of compost out of the gutters.  The key to this was to drag a tarp around behind us so that we didn't litter the yard with sludge.
