Well, barring any complications between now and Monday morning, we should be the proud owners of a house by Monday afternoon! Well... owners via a bank at least...
It's a wood frame, brick exterior, two bed, one bath home, with a living room, dining room, and kitchen. For out buildings, it has a one car garage that has an apartment over top, and there is a small shed. We'll need to lift the shed and repair the floor as the floor of the shed seems to have gotten wet and be sagging, and rotting wood is just an open invitation for termites (and we really don't want termites!!).
We'll be spending a lot of time between now and the end of August cleaning and moving things over gradually. I'm hoping we can paint the walls at least, since I think re-walling is something that will have to wait until we have more money (ie, not this year), but other than the detestable colours, and the incredibly small bathroom in the house, it's really quite nice! I'm really hoping it is going to hold its temperature really well, because when we were in there in April after a week of really cool weather, it was still a fairly comfortable room temperature inside with no power to the house at all, and then when we were in there couple of weeks later following one of those really WARM weeks, it was still the same really comfortable temperature, so hopefully we'll not need a/c or heat too much! I'm not sure, but I think all the wiring has been redone in the last little while (because a LOT was not up to code at all when we looked at it), and some plumbing work has been done on it because of a few problems.
