After quite a few days of jumping through hoops, dealing with daily doses of frustration, days where we thought we were going to have to walk away from this deal all together, we finally got the confirmation yesterday that we are set to close on this beauty on the 17th! The buyer of our current house also closes on the 17th, but we are able to rent it back from him until at least the 31st so we have two weeks to go nutty in the new place before we have to move everything in, which is a HUGE blessing! The things we are *hoping* to get done before moving in are:

put a shed in the back yard

pull up the carpet in the rooms that have carpet over hardwood

refinish the hardwood floors if necessary

paint, paint, paint, paint the interior walls

those are the things off the top of my head, but I am sure we’ll come up with more are we get closer.

Yay!!!!
