House knowledge I DON'T know



Inspection Day
January 19, 2012

Let me start off by saying our inspection went AWESOME! No major problems, everything is working, & no mold. JUST ONE BIG, EMPTY, DIRTY HOUSE. yay!

It was so nice to be in our house again. It was nice to be able to start mentally "planning" decor ideas, furniture placement, and just imagining all the memories we will make. Such a awesome feeling.

I felt kinda like a ding when the inspector was reporting to us at the end. Half the things he talked about I had NO CLUE what he was even saying. Luckily my parents were there &&& he supplied us with a handy-dandy blue notebook full of our inspection report and a home "book" that explains all things home to us.

 BUT things definitely got real today.  We paid our $1000 EMD (See definition here) and our inspection fee of $275. Just knowing that in the next few weeks we will have to pay our down payment and sign our life away kinda makes me nauseous. 

Oh dear.

Here are a few pictures of the house
(we were so busy talking to our realtor, my parents, my brother, and inspector to remember to take more. oops! Hopefully this next month flies by so we can move in and start posting more for everyone!)
