It Ours Now...we closed on our house!

We have debated for awhile whether to buy this house that we've been renting or not.  But we finally bit the bullet and said yes.  We love the area of Mukilteo and Harbour Pointe.   Our ward is fabulous and it has been a great two years.  We would love to move back to Boise as that is where our family is but lets be realistic, there are no jobs there right now.  Soooo. we are toughing out the rain and enjoying the summers and are here to stay for a while.  We are looking for any tips on DIY (Do it Yourself) as this house needs some serious updating but has so much potential.   We want to put tile in the laundry room, recarpet, paint the house, the list goes on and on.  Any advice on tile or refinishing a wood floor would be great!
