another house warming question
FI and I bought a house in August. However, we're not living there together until the wedding. FI is living there.. or rather sleeping there with all of this things still packed into boxes. I don't live there and we don't even have a bed.
We have a LOT of renovating to do. We definitely bought a fixer-upper. That's why FI hasn't "moved in" because it would be silly to unpack and then repack the room when we rip-up the carpet, paint, etc.
Our house will not be "warm" until our wedding in July when I move in and we start making it a "home", renovating and such. So then, does the one year rule apply to our house warming party?
Would it be wrong for us to have a house warming in late fall/winter?
Re: another house warming question
Your FI has really been living out of boxes and without a bed for the last 7 months, and plans to do so for another 5 months?
Why not start renovating now? I don't get why anyone would choose to live like that for an entire year.
But in your situation, it wouldn't seem that odd to have a housewarming next fall. It's everything leading up to it that seems odd.
FI is working almost 12 hours a day and I'm working full time AND going to grad school AND I have a five-year-old son. So we really just aren't going to have time until FI is off for the summer.
FI got a job teaching close to where I live with my parents. So we bought a house in that town because FI thinks renting is a waste of money. So he sleeps/eats there so he can save time/money by not driving a whole hour to work everyday. He's a slob anyway, so the house would look the same even if he had moved in completely.
Yeah I saw a really neat idea for a housewarming/renovating party. It was called "Color Me Happy"
They took those paint samples (chips?) and typed their invites on those.
