Signing our Lives Away

We tried our best to buy a dump today!

We met with our good friend the Realtor today and wrote up an offer for the dirtiest house I have ever set foot in. We gave him the asking price and made it contigent on home inspection and mold inspection. Also, we begged him to take out the carpet and the oven/range/range hood.

It was comforting to hear our Realtor say that we are getting a good deal. Not a great deal mind you, but a good one. However, this is probably the only opportunity we have to get exactly the floor plan we want in exactly the neighboorhood we want.

We will know by the end of the week if the offer will go through, which will be a great relief. (Unless we find out that the house contains 652 new strains of toxic mold, and an upscale resort for cockroaches and all manner of insects).

I'm so excited! We will make it beautiful!
