The House

A little bit of a delayed announcement; we got the house we wanted! It is the one I posted about a couple of weeks ago. We had made a second offer on it a week ago, and they finally accepted it after conceding that they've not had anyone else even come look at the place, let alone put a bid on it. Consequently they didn't get what they wanted for it, but we were satisfied with the result. It is by far the best deal we've come across in our months of house hunting.

We don't have any photos of the inside, but I'll get around to posting some after we get settled in. All the paperwork is done and we are just waiting on getting it appraised and then we will schedule a home inspection. As of now the settling date is October 6, which is a Monday, so we will have all that week to prep walls for painting-- which will just be Nathaniel's room and the half bath and office in the basement-- for now anyway.

That's fantastic news! Sorry I haven't been in touch lately, but I've just been catching up on your blog entries at least :-)
