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
Went to my first auction today and it was a learning experience. We got some nice pieces of furniture for our place and I’ll share some tips in my next blog entry.
So, my girlfriend and I have made the decision to buy a home. The thing is that we haven’t done something like this before and are going to need alot of help. The first thing we thought of is to shop around and find a reputable lender and then find someone with knowledge of the local real estate and go from there.
More to follow!
Yes, I’m well aware that it has been a while since my last post. I’ve been busy with my Scouting tasks with the Newsletter and the advertising for the fall registration.
My birthday in a few days, I can’t wait for that. I’ve asked for stuff to help me when I move out with my girlfriend. I can’t wait to move in with Stix (My girlfriend’s nick name), we’ve been together for over a year and a half and life couldn’t be any better.
Speaking of birthday, my family is getting together this weekend for the annual family BBQ. Last year Stix was the newest member of the family to join us, this year it will be my Uncle’s Fiance who everyone will be wanting to meet.
I know that this entry won’t provide a different perspective but I’d thought that I’d get something up for everyone to enjoy.
And that’s what I’m thinking … outside of the box! Well, not really but I had to put that in.
