New House - Day One
We got our closing numbers on Thursday but I didn't get my direct deposit until Thursday night, so I had to go to the credit union this morning to get the funds required at our 10:30 closing on our new house. So I get up early and head to the bank, which opens at 8. Unfortunately, I get there and the lobby doesn't open until 9, so I hit the drive thru. They won't give me a cashier's check in the drive thru, so I just take out cash, and head back home.
We did our walk-through at 10 o'clock. Mr. Bond was there and seemed like a nice fellow. Looked like he did a good job making the repairs that we asked for, so we headed over to the lawyers office and closed the transaction.
We now own two houses, which is kinda scary, but the old house will be sold in a couple weeks (it's under contract to a nice lady from Connecticut).
I spent many hours removing wallpaper borders (they are evil, I tell you!), and some time this evening painting Emily's room pink. I've banned Erin and I from doing any further painting, it was a disaster. The wall looks good, but we made a mess, I got paint on the ceiling, Erin got paint on the floor, and I broke the stopper in the sink. I think I'll let Adrienne finish the painting.
Tomorrow - lots more painting (Emily's room, the kitchen, the guest room, and the master bathroom are the big to do items). More border removal. Possibly some yard work.
