I’m a Homeowner!

01Mar07

Well, closing actually happened (it looked like it wasn’t going to happen for a while). I’m now a homeowner. After the settlement, I spent the rest of today getting the living room ready to paint and doing a few other things around the house. The fridge was delivered successfully, though it just barely fit through the kitchen door. Even after it did finally fit through the door, it turns out the kitchen floor slopes pretty drastically from the edge of the counter to the wall. I’ll have to figure something out about that later. Right now I’m just happy that I have a house and a fridge to go in it. I spent a couple of hours sanding and spackling. I also called around to locksmiths to get quotes on re-keying the locks, and then scheduled an appointment to have the re-keying done tomorrow. After my sister arrived, we cleaned the moulding and started taping. By the time we were mostly through taping it was starting to get dark and we decided to call it a day. Tomorrow is painting day. More on the entire painting project once it’s done. Then Saturday I move.
