Third Times the Charm...

[mrsnightengale11 (WavyGlass)]

We are less then two weeks from closing now. Banks happy, lawyers are happy, insurance is happy, sellers happy, and contract is fulfilled and ready to close.

This house is smaller then the first two we tried to buy, but it's in better shape, and in a better neighborhood. So here's a picture of the house, and hopefully more to follow soon

Here's some listing photo's I scrounged up

Built-in, in the dinning room

That looks like it will be well worth the wait!

Jade, god, I feel for you. We were gnashing our teeth while selling our log house. Would people get it? Would they like it? Would they know what their $ was getting them, compared to a modern, OSB and PVC hamster cage???? You can lose your mind in the process.

Thanks you guys!
As you know it's been a trial getting to this point. This house had actually just been listed when the drama with the last house was happening. We ended up offering list, but I really feel like it was worth it. All the major stuff is already done (plumbing, electrical, ect), but thankfully everything was done to keep absolutely as much original as possible. The few things that were changed (some doors etc), the previous owner kept the originals put up and we get them with the house.We still will have things to address like sealing the basement, getting central air, and fixing some small things here and there. Over all though, we are stoked to be able to call this place home before the months out

Mrnightengale, good for you glad to see your old home hunt is coming to an end. The house looks fantastic and every thing is done. but I think you are selling yourself short of the old home experience. Were's the endless paint scrapping, plumbing repairs, bath room and electrical restoration, the hours of endless agonizing over restoring floors, and the money OHHH the money. Just what are you going to do with all that free time?
