Changing date....

So Shawn found out that we stand a better chance of IRP covering costs if we close on the house before the 21st...to I spent a few hrs on the phone this morn, arranging things so we can close on Friday..a whole week early.
Still planing on moving in on the 28th but will spend some time moving the more fragil items over and can get my plants in the ground a little faster....
So I have spent the afternoon digging everything up..no where near done and running out of transfer pots again. I still need some realy big ones for the larger plants that I will not leave. This is the one (of many) upsides to buying a home close by (not a posting to another place) I can keep my flowers...

More pic's of the house...


The Kitchen...Gas stove yay!


Living room, that gas insert is going to be replaced with nice one that fits, the brick may go too as it is not solid brick.


The front door deck...on what we think of as the Back of the house.


Lower back yard


Upper back yard, door the the workshop and crawlspace.

House Hunting No more...


So we found our Home.

A 3br Red Cedar and stucco house on a great lot. Its on a dead end rd, for now as there is a New housing development going in up the hill but I have enough trees and land that we will not be affected too much. and our street is narrow so I cant see many people wanting to use it when they can drive on a brand new street.

Best part is we are a 5min walk from the lake....

The house was built in the 80's and was owned by an Older couple so it is OUTDATED but that's OK. The only con's are the size of the 3rd Bedroom. its 9x8 so on par with a RHU (PMQ) bedroom....Ds insists its his so we will remind him in 5 yrs when he's bigger that it was his idea to take the smallest room. And that it is electric baseboard heat.

Dh hopes to install infloor heating on the main.
