HOUSE

So our house closed in the easiest closing I've ever been in! I think we were out in less than an hour. No snags, no last-minute forgotten stuff... The attorney was punctual and prepared.

And now we're the proud homeowners of a house. With all the worries a twenty-year-old house entails. First, we have to get a water heater (old one's rusting away) and a new roof (looking its age). Also things like fixing broken towel-holders, taking down unwanted shelves, straightening the dishwasher (somehow installed crookedly), finding the whole-house water cut-off or installing a new one, laying tile and/or carpet/laminate. Oh, and painting. And moving...

I'm tired already.

We did get a lawnmower at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago though. So we can cut the grass.

Or rather...ahem...my guys can cut the grass. Luckily, there isn't much.

      Yep. The previous owners had these tiny shelves a foot under the ceiling, lining the walls in the sun room, the kitchen, even the laundry room. Must have been for collectibles of which I have none so they're coming down! There are two sets of bookshelves though which is nice!

    What a charming house. A house project is very fulfilling.

    The reason the closing was so easy is because you had an excellent realtor. :-)
