New House Tour (Video)
If you get motion sick easily, you might not want to watch this video.
I got motion sick trying to edit enough clips to show you the house – without rambling on an on about random things that happen to bug me about our new house.
It’s really choppy, and kind of random anyway… but here it is.

We’re pretty excited to have a house again. It’s got some “odd” traits that will be interesting to work around but it has a lot of potential.
The movers are coming to unload and unpack tomorrow and Wednesday so we should be living in our new house soon. We just have to move ourselves out of the apartment. We’ve accumulated a lot of junk in the past 4 months. 3 flights of stairs in this heat! This is going to be a FUN weekend – but it’ll be worth it!
Love it, Sandra! I can’t wait to see what you do with it! You are the queen of making things look fabulous!
Congrats Sandra!! I’m betting you’ll feel less overwhelmed once you get settled in and you can look at it project by project rather than through a whole-house viewpoint. Can’t wait until you are diving in!
If you do ever get to build your own custom home, yours will be PERFECT. I’m so glad we bought a starter home before we built the dream house. I can count on one hand the things I would change on our custom house (and only one that I would change immediately–other stuff is just wouldn’t-it-be-nice) because we paid attention to what worked and what didn’t in the first house. And we only had 1 house before this one–you’ve got a lot more to go on 🙂
Forgot–Dusty has a good idea. My sister walks into a windowless basement from her garage. They have a light on a sensor as well and it is great. Doesn’t work so well for people with four-legged critters inside though. They’ll set them off in the middle of the night.
More great ideas! I hope someday we do build a house. I’m sure I’ll eat all my words about all the dumb little details that get overlooked. We’ll see, maybe.
So I have a suggestions for the wierd spooky spider closet in your daughters room. I went to someones house the other day and they had a butlers pantry. Well the light was on a censor so when you walked in the pantry the light automatically came on and then turned off when you walked out. Since you have to do some fixing on it anyways I thought I would throw the idea out to you. Love your new home by the way and can’t wait to see what you do with it. You keep saying has potential mean while I am drooling over what you have.
I know I have to stop complaining about this house. It’s a great house…it just has a couple things we need to fix. 🙂 Thank you for the suggestion on the light switch. I definitely have to do something with it.
Great video! I can’t wait to see what you do, I know it will be creative and fabulous!
I can’t wait to see what you’ll do to the place. Despite the weird things at least it’s not gross inside decor wise. One bug bomb and your daughter will move right in. But seriously, who puts a light switch behind the door? At least that’s not too tough to fix. I hope there are no more “surprises” – good luck!
I’m sure the electrician wired before the door was installed and he assumed that the door would swing the other way. It makes more sense. So I’ve shifted my irritation from the electrician to the door installer. LOL But, you are right, not too hard to fix. Just add it to the list. 1002!
