Signing on the dotted line
Sep. 29th, 2006 06:02 pmWell, after much consideration and talking round and round, we decided on the house I talked about in a previous post, the one on Benton Avenue -- close inspection of the other house left us wondering if we would ever be free of maintenance issues. We have big plans for converting the basement (one of the dryest, brightest basements I've ever seen in a house) into a family room, which should give us enough room so that everyone wanting to be alone to write or think will be able to find a quiet place. We are all pretty excited!
We spent the afternoon signing papers, and so the process has begun. We could know as early as tomorrow whether the seller accepts our offer. If all goes well, we hope to close by November 1 -- earlier if things go extremely well. That should give us time to do some painting and refinishing the hardwood floors before we move in. We'll also be able to start moving things out of our apartment in stages, once we close, storing things in the garage until we are ready to set up. A perfect arrangement -- as long as I get cracking on the packing!!
We do know that we are the only ones offering on this house at the current time, so hopefully no one else will want our wee little bungalow until it's too late. I'll keep you posted, whether you want to keep hearing about Lin Mahal or not, hee!
