looking over

I started looking my paper over when I finished typing it.

We were looking over the house for the UFO last night when you called.

I try to use "looking over" in my sentences in the above. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Thanks, Marius.

Your version sounds great, but I don't know where mine went wrong. Could you point it out or revise it (with "looking over" in it)? Thanks.
