We closed on our townhome on Wednesday!!!
We are finally homeowners!!!!
The seller was starting to make us nervous when she wasn't out of the house the day before closing! Luckily she had movers come in and they boxed and moved everything very quickly (a few hours!) I stopped by the house at 10 am on Wed and they were about 2/3 of the way done, and she gave me all the keys. Surprisingly, she paid the neighbor to clean the place after the movers had left. It was actually clean! Imagine that... it was actually cleaner than when we initially saw the place while it was listed. The woman and her son were slobs... the place was always dirty and just very unkept.
But now she's gone and the place is officially ours!!
We've been over there a few times over the past few days. Tonight we're going to buy a bunch of the supplies that we're gonna need for the weekend. That means a trip to Home Depot and Target. Buying all the paint and brushes/rollers, cleaning supplies, and misc other crap.
Tomorrow is our first day of working in the house. We're gonna be taking Paulina and Jayden with us. At least we have 2 little helpers!
It's nice knowing that any work that is put into the house is only benefitting myself and not a landlord. As of right now the place smells like dog, but that will soon change after we paint this weekend. Unfortunately, our carpet is on backorder, so we won't be getting that installed until the second weekend in July. It's a nice color... a lil light, but nice. It's called Beeswax. It's gonna go nicely with our colors....
This weekend should be interesting. Maybe I'll take some photos of the "work in progress."
