Buying a house.. Then the fun begins

So you find the perfect house. You agree on a price and then... It's a whirlwind. 

Inspections, appraisals. Anything can really go wrong. Thankfully, the only thing went wrong for us was the A/C and the seller agreed to pay half. We had a guy out 2 days after we purchased and our A/C was fixed. (We're lucky it was a cooler winter in Florida.)

So then begins the painting. What a pain. Whatever they used on the walls to begin with made it worse. We're still unsure what it is. It's been 3 months and I have still have touching up to do ;) Thanks to our parents for the countless hours of painting :)

We replaced the UGLY baseboards (why didn't I take a picture of those) with new ones. 

Pretty much everything around this house was done cheaply and poorly so we're having to really do a lot more than we anticipated.

But, it's been worth it so far. 

Here's some pics:
