Ten minutes later they arrived at the new house. When they got out of their cars, they were shocked with what had happened to the house. Sam walked over to where Jack was standing.
"Sam, is this our house?"
"Yes it is. Someone has painted it, replaced the old boards and resurfaced the driveway".
"I know, let's go inside to see what damage has been done to the place" They walked up the steps. Just as they reached the top step, the door opened.
"Jack, Sam it's about time you two got here!"
"Cassie" Jack said as they hugged, then she hugged Sam.
"Come on, let me show you around. We just finished doing up the place" they followed her into the house
"We?" Sam asked
"Yeah, you know Daniel, Teal'c, mom and some others" they walked into the lounge and they both stopped and looked around.
"Oh my god" Sam whispered.
Before the walls had had old wallpaper on it, now it was painted in a light peach colour, all their furniture had been replaced. Now before them was a caramel leather lounge suite. There was three seat sofa, two seat love seat and two lazy boy chairs. The fireplace had been rebuilt since the old one was slowly falling down.
There was a built in entertainment centre on one wall done in oak like the coffee table. There was a sixty two-inch wide screen television with a DVD player recorder, with the latest surround sound stereo system. On one wall were four built in cabinets and book shelves and on the other wall a breakfront full of china, glass and other personal items that had been passed down, in both families, over the years.
"Wow, Cassie how did you know that this is what we had been thinking about buying?" Sam asked
"Sam, I've seen the marked pamphlets. So, do you like it?"
"Yes, I love it. Jack what are you up to?" Jack had opened the cabinet doors to see what was inside of them.
"DVD Cabinet" then he opened the other one which had CD's in it, then he closed them.
"Come on, there is more"
They followed Cassie into the dining room and stopped when they saw a thirteen piece dining suite, with two triple candle sticks on the dining table. The dining suite was also done in oak. The walls and built in china cabinets was done in pine. They could see serving dishes; wine glasses and dinner sets on displace.
Then they walked into the kitchen. They were shocked with what they saw. It had had cupboards from the nineteen forties, now the entire kitchen had been all replaced with the latest design in kitchen wear.
There was a dishwasher, InSinkErater, a beer and wine fridge; fridge and freezer that were side by side with an icemaker, a gas stove and a breakfast bar with eight stools. It was room was done in peach and white. The Fridge, freezer and dishwasher were white also and it was five times bigger than Jack's old kitchen. There were also two walk in pantries.
"Wow this it great, but who, how?" Sam asked,
"Everything will be revealed in time Sam, come on more to see"
They walked down the hall and they noticed that the laundry room was done in a pale blue with a smooth, white concrete floor which just sloped down to one side of the room where there was a walk in shower in the corner.
There was also a new eight-kilo washing machine and front loading dryer, as well a new wash tub and cupboards. They recognized the old cupboards from the kitchen, and they have been painted in sky blue. Then they checked out the new powder room with a hand basin with a liquid hand soap dispenser. The wall was also in pale blue and the floor was the same as in the laundry room.
