Needless to say we have been busy! Seems like my weekend just flew by and here we are again back at work and dealing with the day to day of the work week. We've started taking some measurements on the house so we can get some quotes on carpet to get installed. We thought we had asbestos tiles throughout the house which was going to cost us money we didn't have to remove, but we had a flooring pro come in and confirm that we do not have asbestos tiles... thank goodness.
We had a termite inspection done, minor things that needed to be addressed on the patio and garage area. The seller took care of that for us, now we're onto the actual inspection and we are really hoping we do not have any major issues come up! If God's in this, I am sure everything will work out fine...nonetheless we are trying not get too excited just yet until the inspection. We started the escrow paperwork, and they took $2000 from us... not quite the biggest check I have written in my life but still hard to cough that up.
We are still planning on riding out our lease until July, we are planning on a 45 day escrow at this point which works out great for us since we're looking at Mid May or even June depending on when the asset managers FINALLY decide to actually start the escrow... so we're in escrow but kind of not. It's a very confusing process getting into escrow. We want them to take a little time on this, but not too much that we have to go over our lease. It's really kind of scary as we look through all of the numbers on the loan, and I have to just say "It's over 30 years!"
Other than the enormous amount of house stuff, our church is planning a hike to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, so we're taking Hezekiah with us and I am bringing my handy dandy camera to hopefully get some AMAZING shots of the different varieties of poppies. Then Sunday, getting together with family for Easter and enjoying some yummy food and going to show some of the family the house we are "buying".
