Signing closing documents soon hopefully...

Hopefully we will be signing final docs soon! We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that we can sign tomorrow before we leave for vacation! In the mean time we have been busy figuring out what projects we can tackle now vs sometime in the future. We have also been shopping for carpet and appliances. Trying to balance out our budget with what our needs are is proving to be more difficult than I expected. Do we wait on carpet and live with the wildly hideous bright blue extremely stained carpet and buy used appliances, or invest in new appliances and replace the carpet in the future?  Neither of those options are appealing... buying a house is EXPENSIVE! We cant wait until we have keys in our hands and can start our first few "right away" projects!

Home Inspection!

On Monday, January 30th we got our home inspection done! Our amazing Realtor Dee set up the appointment with Randy from Pillar to Post to do the inspection. He was very professional and thorough! Forty-three pages and three hours later we moved forward with purchase :) Hooray! It was a relief to know that what we will soon call our home is built well with no major issues! We have A LOT of little fixes (hence the forty-three pages) but no major issues!    The anxiety for now has passed... expecting it to return right before we sign all the final papers! For the time being were focused on figuring out what projects need to be done right away vs projects for the future. The house has so much potential, I cant wait to make it ours and put all of our ideas into action!
