Day 17: Offer Accepted!

Holy crap! It's really all happening!


Here's OUR new house:


They accepted our offer almost exactly as written, only changing a few very minor things like pushing the closing date out three days to June 19th. We close the day after Iris's 5th birthday, which is also her and Eloise's last day of school. This is only ELEVEN days before we leave on our three week vacation. Wowzers. It CAN be done! Right?

It's all too exciting. We'll be doing the inspection by the end of the week and that's definitely the next big hurdle to get over. Cross your fingers that the foundation isn't crumbling and the roof isn't about to blow off!

I am going to ask a friend who does carpentry work if he can come during the inspection to look at some walls we want to move around in the basement and give us an idea on cost, etc. We also want to put in a bathroom in the basement-- and a laundry room!-- but with our budget, we'll just start with the walls. There already are existing walls, but we're not big fans of the way it's all arranged and thought that if we're going to move walls, doing it before we move in would be the best way to go :)
