It certainly has been a very active 2 ½ weeks. I left for
Michigan on the 19th of March, on the evening of the 20th
the condo was put on the market and on the morning of the 23rd I had
two offers, one offer was for cash, I took the cash offer, closing date April
17th. Meanwhile Greg was busy at home furiously looking for a house
to buy here in Kentucky, he came across a 4 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home right in
our price range, the only glitch was that we had to put an offer in by the 4th
of April and if our offer was accepted we had to show the funds available in
our bank account by the 8th of April. What does all this mean? I had
to empty the condo in one week of 60 years of stuff, move the closing date up,
get my brother to pick up the stuff he wanted (he lives in Rhode Island) get
the check in my hand and it has to clear by Monday. Whew!!! So did I get all of
this done? Absolutely. I am still sitting here in amazement that I could pull
all of this off, let me tell you it wasn't easy, I had the condo association on
my butt, the city came by to yell at me because of the amount of trash I had
set out (we worked that out, plus the condo president came over and apologized
for his actions.) The best part is, we got the house, I didn't get to see it
until I got back home but if Greg liked it I knew I would too, I was right,
it is almost perfect, it needs a paint job, new carpet and while the house sat
empty the copper piping was stolen, okay I can handle that, why you may ask,
because we got it for such a great price. It may not be move in ready but I’ll
tell you when all that is taken care of, I’ll be a happy camper. When we finish
and move in you can expect some before and after photos.
If you’ll excuse me I’m going to go sleep for a week.
