We have achieved house
The P&S took longer to resolve than we thought – but on Sunday morning we called our broker.
“Do we have it?” I asked anxiously. “Otherwise I’m going to open houses. I must devise Plan B.”
My agent told me to get out of the clock tower.
“Let me check the fax, hang on,” he said. A few seconds later he came on the phone. “It’s signed. We’re going to close on this place at the end of May.”
Deeps and I had the speaker phone on and yelped with glee, probably causing ear damage for our agent. I even got a little misty - I didn't realize how much we'd been holding back on being really, really excited.
Later Deeps said he was only 85% excited because he wanted the paperwork in hand. I was excited enough to buy a book to organize my house records. Man, when Jasclo is right – she’s right. I’ll be gifting this book to everyone I know buying a home. And I’d like to say nice things about the Black and Decker Complete Photo Guide to Home Repair. Wow. That’s good stuff.
So now we meet with some potential painters – we have 28 x12 ft room to paint along with the master bedroom with the 13 ft. cathedral ceilings. I think I’ve got to leave that to the professionals.
Now for my new checklist – projects for the next 24 months. Hurray!

There
That is such awesome news! Congrats!
Also, brilliant decision to get that book. I'm setting aside a whole block of time to fill it in this weekend. Woot!
Also, dude, I just realized we got totally ripped on that book. I think we both paid around $20 for it. Grr.
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you guys!
Let the painting commence! Waaaahoooo. :)
Congrats... officially.
And oh well on the price of the book. We'd have paid about the same with shipping. So it goes. It was worth $18.95 to me.
Woo Hoo! That is awesome! Congrats!
Nah - you totally didn't get ripped. I paid $18.95 for it at Borders - but I did have a $5 off coupon. I bought another similiar type book - it was more about home organization and there was some ettiquette stuff and then some stuff about records. I got that book at the $5 bin.
Now I'm thinking about buying a tool belt.
That is excellent news. Congratulations on your new home.
