I'm a homeowner!

I responded to the post below, but I figured that I'd start a new post since I have some free time. My husband and I finally closed on our home yesterday afternoon and we were given the keys at closing (which we didn't think was going to happen). We actually closed at the registry of deeds, so the transaction was registered while we sat there and finished signing paperwork. It worked out pretty well!

We went to the house last night and installed a new toilet. We were just going to get a new seat, but we found a decent toilet for about $100 and decided to just do that. I'm glad we did because the old one was kinda nasty! haha

We also went to Lowe's and bought all of our appliances. They're set to be delivered next weekend, so the pressure is on to get the kitchen ready. We spent all day today cleaning the cabinets, taking off the counter top, removing the sink, and separating the cabinets to make a space for the dishwasher. We bought our new counter top (laminate for now) today and DH will be measuring and cutting tomorrow to get that ready to be installed.

I updated my home bio with some new pictures under the "current projects" page, so if you're bored, check it out! :)

Thanks! Big Smile

The house is pretty rough around the edges, but we're already making some good progress and it's almost starting to feel like our home.

Here's the address for the links:

 <a target="_blank"title="****"href="****">Home Bio</a>

Put the website address where the astrisks are (delete the astrisks)

As for pictures, I upload my photos to tinypic.com and it gives you the IMG link to post on the message board (or put in your siggy).

Congrats and your house looks great!   I wish I would have done the buying timeline as you did in your bio. I just closed on my house May 29 09.   It will really help those that are looking to buy a house!  Best of luck to you.

Thanks! I'm glad I did the timeline too. Mine is much longer than the average person, but at least it'll give buyers an idea of what can go wrong! haha The house really isn't yours until you have the keys and I think my experience proves that.
