Moving Right Along

It was difficult, but we found a rental property!  HUZZAH!  The people we'll be working with, from what we can tell thus far, are AMAZING.  We're working with them on a month to month lease... AMAZING.  The owner said he and his wife just built a house and they understood how crazy and unpredictable building can be.  Apparently he's the type of person who believes if he's nice to people and does what he can to help them out... it'll come back to him.  Unfortunately there aren't enough people like him left in the world I'm afraid.  For working with us, Bryan will be doing some odds and ends around their property... resealing the driveway, stripping and re-staining their deck... power washing siding.  Easy peasy stuff that will help them sell.  I think it's going to work out well, as long as we don't end up on People's Court. :)  We can start moving our things May 15th.

This past Tuesday we had our home inspection.  All in all it went really well... THANK GOODNESS.  The unfortunate thing is all of the repairs are fairly minor... things Bryan could do himself... like I dunno... POUR A DAMN BOTTLE OF DRAINO IN THE BATHTUB AND CALL IT A DAY.  Intriguingly enough we have to have a licensed contractor fix these silly things.  We're working with our agent, and with the common sense that the buyers hopefully have in helping to save money.  We'll see how it goes.  Our agent suggested finding a contractor that would subcontract the work out to Bryan, inspect it, and then sign off.  We'll see. 

I went ahead this evening and dismantled the baby's nursery, and pulled everything off the walls in the remainder of the house.  I thought I would be sad... after all... I did start bawling cleaning the kitchen right before the photographer came to take pictures.  I'm sure I'll be beyond sad when we're pulling out of the driveway for the last time, but for now I feel REALLY GOOD.  Bigger and better things are waiting for us... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
