The first step to getting the home ready is cleaning it out. The previous occupant had left so much in it that it took an entire day to stuff everything in contractor bags.

With four bedrooms, the kids will get their own rooms again. They'll even get their own bathroom. We'll have an art room next to the master bedroom. Obviously books will dominate the living room.
