Well, I chose not to buy that house after I hired an inspector. I had plans for what I wanted to do with it and the land. The inspection results were not good (I won't go into detail except to say high water line and mold in the basement). My desired renovations would not have been possible without almost an additional $100K. The house was nearly 60 years old, and if I was going to invest that much more, I could spend that upfront and get a new house with everything I planned to do.
So I did just that...
I haven't said much, nor been around because I was house shopping like mad these past two months. Three weeks ago (yea that recent) I found the perfect house, everything I hoped for and more! It is brand new, built 11 months ago and literally without a flaw. The closing was friday, I own the property now so I guess I can....
(do the bannana dance)
and here are two pictures I took yesterday...
and Carole (because you said I would need a tractor...) This is what arrived yesterday!!!! (this picture was taken from inside my garage)
They delivered the beds and matresses today (I need to leave my condo furnished until it sells, shows better my realtor tells me), installed the cable internet and TV, and mom and I hung blinds in the garage (she thinks someone will steal the brand new Deere) and bathrooms.
Tomorrow we're doing the mailbox and upstairs blinds.
There are no appliances yet (as I said it's brand new) as a housewarming gift my aunt is going to buy those for me. She is busy with The Big E until September 28th (she owns 6 locations on the grounds) and then we will go shopping. As soon as that is done, I'll hire a mover and start moving in. Until then...
I have SO much to do.
