Habemus House!
(seriously that’s the best & only phrase I know in Latin… it’s great!)
I have a garage door opener sitting in front of me. I love it :)
Closing went off without a hitch this morning. The previous owners seem like *really* great people and they’re only moving about a mile or so away (building a new house) so that helps to reassure me that the area where we’re going to live is a nice place to raise a family. We have school aged kids on either side of us so hopefully by the time we have some kids of our own we’ll have some convenient baby-sitters :)
We got a whole envelope full of useful stuff from the previous owners including instructions for just about everything they ever installed in the house (dishwasher, faucets, etc) and even some pictures of the way the house looked when they bought it and some pics from when they remodeled the bathroom. I’m hoping to scan & post those tonight on in the gallery and I already took some pics so that we have our own “before & after.” Those I’ll have to get developed (I’m stubborn & haven’t gone digital yet) so it might be a bit ’til I figure out where it’s safe to leave my film down there, lol.
Pictures can be seen here as our work progresses.
