The New House
OK, so to my friends on atlbloggers.net, sorry that I've reposted this like a dozen times. In case you care and want to see the house in its full glory, blue carpet and all, and don't see it here, please go to my blog.
We went to the lawyer's office yesterday around 2:00 to close on our new house. It's amazing just how many forms there are to sign. It was also somewhat sad to sit across from the sellers. Rather than being a happy occasion, they asked to get paid in two separate checks - they're getting divorced. That's sad enough, but the couple is way too old for that - the husband is 73. It's a sad fact that in real estate you get your best deal when the seller is in a bad situation.
Since Kick keeps asking for pictures of the new house, I'll post a few here. I'm fighting some stupid technical issues with Flickr, otherwise I'd have a stream up and ready.
Everytime we drive up we have the same thought - it looks like a grown up house, and we don't feel that grown up yet! And it's still hard for me to believe that I now own a bedroom with five, count then 5 bedrooms! It also has a living room, den, dining room, and an extra room we'll use for the home theater. It's just frickin huge!!!
In case there's any question, here's why we want to paint and install some hard wod floors. House about a picture of our son's new room?
There's nothing quite like dark green carpet and lime green walls, is there? And then there's the living room with its real estate walls and blue carpet.
We start painting tonight at 6:00pm. We've got 60 hours to get 6 rooms (plus trim in two others and some halls) painted before the floor guy arrives on Friday. The wife's headed to Costco today to pick up enough Coke and Oreos to feed our small army. When it's all said and done, I'm looking forward to sitting on the 1200 sqeare foot deck and enjoying a beer.
