We got a house!
It really was for the best that we missed out on the other house. We
bid on and got a single family home in the area where we were originally
looking. It’s has three bedrooms and two baths It’s an older house and
needs a fair amount of work but I’m hoping it’s mostly cosmetic. We
have five days (as opposed to the usual 15) to get the house inspected
and make a decision. We’re looking for structural problems. We realize
that the kitchen needs to be redone and that there is a great deal of
cosmetic stuff. It has some real potential. (My boss says that
potential = time + effort + money) Amazingly I was able to line up a
home inspector and a termite guy for noon tomorrow. I’m going to take a
digital camera with me to the home inspection tomorrow so hopefully I
will have some pictures.
