The FHA has certain requirements shall we say? when you are buying a government owned home. Thats means there can not be any uncovered ground (concrete), strange electrical (live wires in the garage and front of the house and some oddness on the porch), unlivable carpet (installing laminate in the house), there must be a light outside any outside door (adding one outside the garage).

The guy who owned the house before me did a lot of his own work, but some of it is very patchwork so it all needs to be cleaned up and permit-ized and made kosher with the FHA. He did some awesome tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms though! My sister (who may be graciously helping with the flooring later) bought me a faucet (I'll pay you back!) for my new awesome sink. I am also thinking of making some renovation to the master bedroom later on (more closet space, and get rid of that sitting area).

I can't wait to have my awesome dance floor in the house and see all my appliances in the right place!
