Molly and Joe's Ark

We have a leak in the basement(a different one) and a leaky window. We're drowning! Just kidding about the drowning part. But please don't ask us how the house is going right now. We're both working hard to get it in gear and would prefer not to talk about the things that are NOT going swimmingly. (heh heh get it?? But seriously, we don't want to talk about it so please don't bring it up. We'll tell you when everything is ship-shape (heh heh---ok I'm making myself depressed.)

Photos!

With everything settling down, I'll post some photos. When everything is cleaned up I'll post before & after of work that we did on the house but now here are some fun photos

Hooray!

Now that we're finally in the house and I'm finished with schoolwork, we can get back to planning the wedding!! Aaah!!

Molly and Joe: 1 Water dept.: 0

Ok, sooo nobody fixed the water yet. YET. Tomorrow some city people are coming to fix it, so there's always that. I just hope that it's all done by friday. Now -THAT'S- a graduation present. Speaking of graduation, all of you Burnetts are invited to the graduation ceremony. Now, now, I can hear that discontented, obligatory sigh from here. Truth is, it'll be boring. Know what WON'T be boring? The after-party at our house at 7pm. It's also for our friends Ila Medlin and Allison Spalter as well. (Allison, my maid of honor) So it'll be a blast and everyone should come. There will be churros and cheddar biscuits. I wish I were lying. But yeaaah more house stuff. Joe finally cut the lawn. A big thanks to Pete B. for that (Yay there are two Petes now. Pete B and Pete C) Anyways, here's some graduation info:

Where the ceremony is:
Unity Temple
707 West 47th Street
Kansas City, MO, 64112
A.K.A. Where Eden Alley is.
and that is at 2pm

And the party is at our house at 7pm

Now... Back to studying for my finals.

Painting and finishing touches

Hello! Sorry it's been a minute since our last post. We've both been so so busy with school, work, and the house. All of the floors are finished, and now we're just painting and putting things back together. Unfortunately, our basement flooded (luckily nothing was down there!). We had AB May come out and take a look, however, he said that there was something (probably a root) that broke the pipe, so when it rains the water just floods back through the pipe and in to our basement! Yuck! Good news is, it's the city's problem because it's so close to the curb, so we (theoretically) don't have to pay a dime! Yay! And they'll pay for our ruined hot water heater... Probably. This weekend we've had painting parties and the whole house is really beginning to look like ours. The paint and new floors really open the rooms up and it looks so cozy and wonderful, even with debris everywhere and none of our furniture! Since I've been spending all of my time revamping the house, I've fallen behind on my schoolwork. Fortunately, Joe and I have wonderful friends who have been helping us a LOT so I can get caught up quickly. Everybody's help and time put in is invaluable to us. A BIG thank you to our painters and Pergo floor experts:
Allison Spalter
Adam Latz
Alex Dunsford
Ila Medlin
Dan Wetteroff
Nick Yeats
Thank you guys so so much and I hope this stuff will get done today!!

P.s. Little John is finishing the plumbing on Tuesday. Yaay!!

Floors!!

I never thought I would be this excited about floors. We're being super DIY for sure. All of the estimates we got on refinishing the real hardwood floors in the house were close to $2000, which is waaay too much. However, Allison and I went to home depot and if we do it ourselves, refinishing the floors AND buying that puzzle-piece nice hardwood laminate will be under $500... WHAT? Awesome! Also, Allison and I are juuust about finished tiling the kitchen floor. It looks so much better. Pictures to come.
