There have been more changes with our house since last week. They finally started working on the screened porch, which I am so excited about having! Here it is, as of yesterday. The second picture is looking at the porch from the dining room, which is where the doors will be.
We also bought our first appliance for the new house! Scott sort of stumbled across this appliance, but it was a deal we couldn't pass up! He went to Sears to get an estimate for our whole list of appliances. The salesman told him he couldn't quote the microwave we had on our list, but that he had one in the store (also KitchenAid but a different model) that he was trying to sell. Scott looked at it, and after calling me, decided to buy it. It's normally a $1,700 microwave (what?!) and we got it for $499. The microwave can also be used as a convection oven, which is why it has such a high price tag.
Are you wondering how in the world we got it for so cheap?? Well, it turns out that someone bought it and installed it in their house. However, she returned it, saying it didn't work. It turns out that her friend installed it for her and didn't do it correctly. After being tested many times, the people at Sears decided it was fine to be sold to someone else. We got all new accessories to go with it, along with a year warranty (which is their standard warranty). We really like the way this microwave looks, and it's always nice to save a little money!
We've also made a few electrical and plumbing decisions this week. We are getting closer and closer to a finished house everyday!
