House hunting
HH and I have been busy!! We started looking at houses a few weeks ago, MIL is our realtor (so that's been helpful and stressful). We've seen a few that we like, but yesterday we saw one for the second time and we went over with my dad who is an inspector. He has some concerns about the foundation and the work they had done to the house in 2005. We are so torn because we really like the house and the neighborhood is great but foundation is a big problem!! So in the next couple of days we have to decide if we want to write up an offer and then hire a Structural Engineer to come in and inspect the property to see what he thinks about it all. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!!
On a good note, my thank you's are officially finished and all in the mail!! Also, I've been working on scrapbooks for the wedding and honeymoon and they are nearly done!
Re: House hunting
Good luck with the house and congrats on the thank yous! I haven't worked on our wedding scrapbook in a few weeks, I need more supplies...
THIS.
It is a big big big pain. We are FINALLY supposed to close in 16-ish days. We've been searching since March. Don't get frustrated and don't lose hope. Just keep sight of the end goal!
Good Luck with the deceion making and congrats on the thank you notes!!!
Good luck! Househunting, while not necessarily fun, does make for some good stories.
I have a few favorite 'disaster houses' from when we were looking. One of them was the house that was completely covered in mold. Upstairs you saw a bit of it on the cupboard doors, bedroom doors, random things like that. As soon as we hit the 3rd step on our way downstairs you were overcome by the smell of the mold and when I hit the last stair was when I saw it completely covering EVERYTHING! The closet doors, the handrail, the closet shelves, the floor. It was absolutely disgusting.
And to think I was originally disturbed by the fact the sliding door closed itself because it wasn't square....
