Right on Devin! Congrats man! Best wishes that the house will bring you and your fiance much happiness and joy!

Thanks everyone! We've been really busy the past couple days painting the house inside. We've never painted walls like this before and man, It's a lot of work! ESPECIALLY THE COLOR RED! Never choose red! EVER! Haha. YouTube has been a FANTASTIC resoruce for us. I'm becoming a handy man before I know it.

I'm going to cut it short for now. I have to be up early to move furniture tomorrow. Ill post picture soon! I had a thread that i posted earlier with pictures of the home if you guys want to dig around for it.
 
Btw, a bit of advice, try to find a handyman that you can trust. My wife and I have done a lot of work on our house in he past few years. Some of it, we could do, but some of it we were able to have done by a handyman that we trust

Also, Angie's List is pretty awesome for finding contractors for big projects

Great advice! Thanks so much :)
 
Congratulations!! When I built my house, everyone told me how hard the first year would be. I didn't believe them. They were right, but once the initial shock of paying mortgage eased.. Life gets better and better, and you wonder what all the stress was about. A wonderful milestone for your family mate. Well done.
Cheers
 
Home ownership is fun, stressful, expensive, time consuming, a pita and rewarding all at the same time. Enjoy it. Claim your guitar space before it is gobbled up by a designer chair or something of the like.

Congrats, now get back to painting! :)
 
So when is the musicman forum housewarming party? BTW is it BYOG?
 
Right on Devin! That's awesome man, big congrats to you and your fiancé. Make great memories in your new home.

Thanks! At first we were kinda at each others throats due to all the stress but, were just loving every moment now. Funny how that happens.
 
Now you can play at all hours without yours neighbors complaining , it's a great feeling to own your home , congrats
 
Great looking house and congratulations.

Studio?!?! I had one of those once, then kids came along and now my "studio" consists of me lugging amps to whichever part of the house no body is in.

Haha. I totally see myself becoming this once we pop a kid or two out. Right now I'm just enjoying the plethora of space! I acquired a pretty decent audio interface recently and have been playing around with logic, amplitude and garage band. I can't really seem to dial in and get the tone I want yet! It's all very new to me and I have zero experience with these programs. Soon I plan on posting a razors edge solo cover.
