Project #1

Posted on Tuesday 10 April 2007

Our First project on the house.  Didn’t go as smoothly as planned.  In fact, it didn’t go smoothly at all. 

But 6 hours later, we now have no wallpaper border on the wall.

Our Day

Posted on Thursday 29 March 2007

So, about 1:45pm today, I get a frantic call from Kris…

Gary (Our realtor called) and said the women selling refused to come to closing because she feels she’s not getting enough out of the deal.”

That’s right, she decided 3 hours before closing, that she wasn’t going to get enough out of the deal, and wants to back out… mind you, 2+ weeks ago we signed a contract with all kinds of loop holes to back out within the first 5 days after signing.

 But, for some reason, I wasn’t really concerned. I was a bit amused by how weird this whole experience has been, but at no point and time was I nervous.  I felt confident, that no matter what happened, it would work its way out.  I had faith, faith that everything would work out, and that no matter what it would all be ok.

Sure enough… she showed up… not only that, Turns out the Bank made a clerical error… and shorted the loan by $.60 cents, the exact amount of change I had in my pocket at the time. 

Coincidence… maybe… I’d like to think that it was always meant to be.

We’re now ’Home Owners’ :) 

Closing Soon

Posted on Sunday 25 March 2007

So, once again, while playing around with the site, I lost all the old posts… Someday I’ll get the hang of this. We’re closing on the House on March 29th, this Thursday at 4pm.  We’re both very excited; we will finally own our own place.  We’re busy reading decorating books.  Unfortunately we haven’t started packing, but we do have a pile of empty boxes to the ceiling in the spare room (no joke, it’s actually ceiling high.)Wish us luck, no more fun, just work preparing for the big moving day. Joe & Kris
