Thanks to Tim and Dad working this weekend we are the proud new owners of a cute rectangular hole in our ceiling at the top of our stairs. Nice work guys! They did encounter a few snags along the way (which is really no surprise in any home repair project…), but were able to finish it up in one day.
We left it “unfinished” in case we needed to make the hole bigger… now Tim can trim it out and I’ll paint it white
And this afternoon the appraiser/inspector came BACK to look in our “attic”… which actually turned out to be about 15 inches or so (at the peak!) of space. Not even enough room to put your head and shoulders up into… good grief! Anyway, she came back to check to make sure it looked secure and had insulation. And it does. So, after apologizing for having to come back, she said it looks good. 🙂
Now we just wait to make sure the closing date is still August 30th.
And that SHOULD mean that our house is actually, officially SOLD now!
And how is Dende doing?
I’m doing a (little) happy dance now. I’ll save the big one for when it’s officially official.
What a relief that things are moving along. I’ve been holding my breath for you ever since you said you weren’t positive it was sold. This is such a crazy time to buy and sell with banks being more picky. But now I am very excited for you and feeling empathy toward all the packing and cleaning that you’ll be doing in the next month. Maybe Tim can handle most of that while you’re out of town 🙂
Mom: He’s doing very well–we were just saying last night that he’s about 80% back to normal. He’s eating and drinking again but not as vigorously as before. He’ll start to eat and then leave it for a while and come back to it (which for him is unheard of!). But he’s also not on the prednisone right now either, so that might have something to do with it. We’re going to finish his other medicine from the infection first and then put him back on the pred.
Woohoo woo hoo woo hoo!!!!!!!!
