I announced on Facebook back in June that Chris and I had purchased our first home. Well, we moved in on July 31st at about 3pm, so as of today, we've been officially been living here for a whole week! We're settling in nicely, despite the gong show that happened on moving day.
Short version: Was supposed to get the keys at noon, helpers arrived from out of town at eleven. Got call from lawyer at 11:30 saying there'd been a mix-up and we needed to send more money to cover the taxes already paid by previous owner. Sent money transfer at 12:20. Proceeded to sit around and W....A....I....T with helpers (some more patiently than others) who had already packed the first load into the trucks. Got call from lawyer at 2:20 saying keys could be picked up, house was ours. Arrived at new house with keys at 2:30, opened front door, discovered that previous owner was not done moving out yet. Started moving her stuff out to garage, and our stuff into house. Previous owner arrived, embarrassed, gradually got her act together and departed the premises!! It was a crazy day, but we lived to tell the tale! And, the aforementioned lovably scattered previous owner left us a LOT of stuff -- ladders, wheelbarrow, shelving, treadmill (!!) etc, etc, etc. I think she got tired of packing !!! Luckily, it's mostly stuff that will come in handy.
Anyway, we haven't taken any photos yet with OUR stuff in the house, but these are a few photos from the listing, and some we took on the day of the house inspection. I'll try to take some updated photos and post them soon :)
