The past 3 days have been wonderfully productive!
Monday - Our beautiful granite was installed. Mark it off the list!

We worked until midnight painting the living room and both hallways
because we needed the room to "store" my staging furniture we were
picking up on Tuesday. The house that the furniture was set up in was
closing on Wednesday so we had to clear it out by then. We didn't want
to put it back in storage just to have to pull it out again when Sugar
Pine was ready for staging...
Tuesday - We headed to Trailwoods to pick up our staging furniture. Lucky for us, the house is only about 10 minutes away from Sugar Pine so we didn't have to rent a U-Haul and got away with making just a few trips. Love it!

After getting it all unloaded and into the living room, we headed out to check out another possible deal...
Wednesday - This morning we went by the gas company and got our request submitted to turn our gas on. After this we headed to Lowes to get our lights, toilet, faucet, and other odds and ends. We also had to pay for the carpet we ordered and schedule the install. Lucky for us, they were running a special on the install charge and were able to get it for $37 as opposed to $97! Not bad, eh? This is the first time we have used Lowes to install the carpet that we purchased from them...so far, we dig it! Can't beat that price! And of course, I also had a 10% off coupon so we saved $135 on the total receipt for today. Love all the savings!
After this we headed to our 24 Day Challenge and got right to work painting the bedrooms so they will be ready for carpet. We almost finished 2 of the 3 bedrooms before calling it a night...
By the way, here's a few pics of the freshly painted mailbox (it matters, people!) and the front of the house featuring the new red door...I've gotten behind on uploading the pics of our progress! :)
