One month til move in!

My husband and I went to look at the home today that we will be renting and we are so excited! The place is a nice, big size and will give us a lot of room to grow. Some of the appliances are a bit outdated but until we decide if we want to do the rent-to-own option it's what we have to deal with. The kitchen cabinets are also a bit outdated, and look like the ones we currently have in our apartment ( :-/ ). The bathrooms also need to be updated. We will be allowed to paint the cabinet in there but the wall tiles and shower/tub are old but in good condition. We will need to paint the bedroom since the last occupants left holes in the wall, which my dad patched up...
Quick story- we wanted to move a very nice city close to where we are but it was rather expensive for a 1/1 apartment. One of my coworker's aunts owns the rented house and it just so happens that my dad was doing the remodeling in it (small world!) The last occupant was actually an old co-worker who was fired...
Back to where we were: My husband is very excited to do yardwork and we cannot wait to have a little garden. We would love to adopt a dog (preferrably a German Shepherd or a mix) but sadly the house has no fencing around it and 2 of the 4 surrounding lots do not have fences and the lot next door is just that, and empty lot. If we can, I would love to update/remodel all of the said things and my cost. If sure that whatever we do would even give the owner a great resell value if we decide not to keep it.

In all, we're just pretty damn excited
