Closing Time!

I can't be the only one who loves Semisonic, right? Well, this isn't about Semisonic's hit; we're closing on the house!

It's official: December 1st we will be closing on the house!

Living Room

We have a lot of work to do though. Part of the living room floor needs to be rebuilt.

Love the wallpaper!

The kitchen has no oven... and most of the floor needs to be rebuilt.

Paneling!

And the second bedroom's carpet has hideous orange mystery stains.

All said and done, we're estimating about $7,000 worth of work including all the electric issues. I'll post more pictures once we close on the house.

For the first weekend I'll likely camp out in front of the wood burning stove without electricity. We currently live in a house without heat (or insulation, or windows and doors that seal), so I think spending a night in a sleeping bad by a hot stove will be pleasant by comparison.

The first box has been packed and the storage unit is have empty. It's really happening!
