I still have to paint, pull out the carpeting and prep/stain the hardwood floors that have been covered with carpet since 1968. Then a few more cosmetic touches, and the house will finally look and feel like me, rather than my aunt and uncle (I inherited their house). I also plan to get rid of a BUNCH of furniture. And by 'get rid' I mean donate to Habitat for Humanity.

Ideally, I'd love to sell it, and buy a 2 bedroom bungalow.
