Finally, I get nice weather to take pictures of outside of my house. The maple tree in the front yard is starting to bud and there is no snow on the ground (why do I need to be reminded of this stuff).

Stacey and I have started to work on moving the patio and then eventually the tool shed will be moved which should allow more room in the back yard.

I will post the pictures sometime this week.

 So, here it is.  Some photos of inside my house.  it would be better for you to come see yourself.

Another thing we had to do was get something for our closet to organize our clothes a lot better.

I completed my first project by installing full shelves in the pantry.  The first photo says it all, we got two half shelves when we got the house.

I’ve finally moved all of my big stuff that I needed help with, as you can see with this blog entry I do have internet access.  Photos will be up shortly, as most of you won’t be able to make it to the house right away.

I have a few more boxes to go thru, then after that I turn around and celebrate x-mas.

So were approaching the finish line for the house, All of the electrical has been completed and inspected (another blog entry), were in the process of finalizing our mortgage, the appliances have been ordered, TV and internet have been arranged, We see our lawyer in two weeks and a few days later we close the deal.

Man, talk about a wild ride. Which will be complete when everything is all in the house.  Only 4 more weeks, I can’t wait.

Now this is what’s happened to me this past week

My Girlfriend and I go view a few homes last weekend and had a gut feeling on one of them.  Luckily that house has an open house the following day so we both go and view it again.  That’s when we made the decision to put an offer in on it.  So we got in touch with our broker and was able to put the paperwork together for that evening as our broker presented the offer.  When the home owners counter offered with a few minor changes we were happy to accept. 

Within the next two days the home inspection was completed and we were happy with the report.  We also had our mortgage approved the following day so we went from Saturday to as I type this on Thursday night doing all of this.  And I can’t thank My Girlfriend enough for her help in this as well.

We have a few more things to work out and then everything should be final
