Journal dead sun's Journal: So, umm, I'm buying a house 2

Yeah, I've been doing a terrible job posting anything I've been doing lately here, haven't I? I mentioned once, a while ago I was looking for a house and now I'm back stating I'm buying one. Imminently.

It's cute, a story and a half. Finished upstairs with half height walls before the slants happen, flat ceiling. Mostly finished in half the basement, just nothing covering the concrete. Just over quarter acre yard, nice deck, detached garage. The inside is all very clean and nice. There's a little work to be done, like the wallpaper upstairs must go, but nothing terrible. It's probably in better condition than my apartment, anyway. I'm also told there are hardwood floors hiding under the carpet.

My fiancee and I are, of course, incredibly excited. A place of our own, a chance to build equity, and all sorts of things we've wanted in a dwelling but haven't had at the apartment. We get to furnish it with real furniture. All sorts of stuff to be happy about. And, *sigh*, more sentence fragments in this post than you can shake a stick at.

I have some pictures of it up on my Flickr account. I'll post some more once I own the place.

  • Don't mean to scare you, but you don't want to discover black mold or serious termites after you own the place.

    I liked the pictures of the room looking out on the deck, but before I could look at the rest, I was distracted by the kittens being rescued. I hope they have nice homes now! That tan one would go nice with your deck, hint hint.
    • I did have an inspection done, and the offer to buy it was contingent upon liking that inspection. Our agent (a true buyer's agent, highly recommend one of those) gave us a couple inspectors she'd worked with. We went with the one that she said reduced people to tears about the shape of their house. He found a couple little things that we'll be taking care of, but the inspection went incredibly smoothly.

      The rescue kittens found homes a while ago, and the person that took them in has cycled through another
