How are things going? Everything unpacked now and rooms re-painted yet?

Had the closing today on the house and everything went smoothly for the most part. Took all of 40 minutes then it was on to Target, the grocery store, and Home Depot to spend some $$$$. I was a little annoyed with our agent. She was late for the closing and when we did the walk-through of the house with her last night we noticed a part of the vinyl siding was warped. Later I figured that the owners had a new gas grill outside and must have had it too close to the house. I wanted her to bring this up with the sellers agent today which she did, but then just kind of blew it off. It kind of irritated me that she didn't pursue it harder, but then again, probably wasn't worth holding up the deal at the 11th hour over 3 pieces of vinyl siding. I'll chalk it up as a learning experience.

Also had to go down town to the county government building to file for homestead. Don't quite know much about the 'homestead' other than if you don't file for it your taxes just about double. It's free to file so it was a no-brainer!

We get to start moving tomorrow at noon so I think I'll be pretty busy the next week or so. L8R

    Did you get your house deal solidified yet? Good news here. Made an offer on a nice house on Wednesday night and the sellers accepted. Gotta be there for the inspection tommorow but the only downside so far is that if everything goes through, the closing date won't be till the 3rd week of August. And the best part is that the house price was at the low end of our price range. With this one I didn't have the 'deer-in-the-head-lights' look compared to the price of a few houses we looked at. Keep me posted on how things go for you.

    Brian,

    Received the targets yesterday, hopefully I will be able to get to the desert and punch some holes in them tomorrow. Thanks for your generosity and prompt shipment. If you ever get to Arizona give me a 'heads up' so I can repay.

    Later,

    Rick

    GreenLantern-Good to hear things are steadily going in the right direction for you. Glad to hear you found one that didn't hit you with "sticker shock." Even though it doesn't really apply to the price of a house, you can still be caught with the same effect. I haven't had much time to play with the computer the last few days, or I'd have responded sooner. Last time we posted about this, I think I told you it was looking about 15 grand less than what their asking price was. Sadly it's only going to be a little over 8,500. But even that isn't bad. We had an inspection done last week, got the results back yesterday, and fortunately not much is going to have to be done in order for us to get our loan. As it stands now, we're looking to close before or by the last week of July. Hopefully, if everything keeps going like it is, we'll be all moved in by the start of August. I'll keep you posted on how things go with us, and let me know how things are going for you as well.
