We’re Out!

Well it’s official, we are no longer living between two dwellings. The apartment is empty and most of the keys are turned in.

Painting is a Behr

Painting is a Behr indeed! We have recently come to the realization, like many first time home owners, that life doesn’t slow down when you buy a house. In fact, it seems to have picked up speed. If we were rich and could take a few weeks off, we might be able to lay down […]

Not to cry wolf or anything

If I’m wrong today, well, I’ll have to put the same kind of post up tomorrow I suppose. However, I am 98% certain that Melanie and I are going to be homeowners in a few short hours. You see, this time the paperwork is waiting on us, not the other way around. And boy does […]

Hurry up and Wait

Well we had another false alarm today. It came down to the wire and this time something else wasn’t going to show up in time. No worries though, I think the difficult bits are behind us. We have re-scheduled for tomorrow @ 4:30 for a walk through and 5:30 to close. I am now certain […]

Always a story to tell……….

So if you have been keeping up with the site, you might be expecting an announcement by now that we have officially closed on our house. Unfortunately this is not yet the case………. The seller did get the stuff out of the house, late, but he did it. And everything on our end has come […]
