Last night we went to Lowe's to look at paint colors. We have a photo of a houseboat in seattle that is more or less guiding our choices for the living room, but it was still agonizing.
We finally ended up with two paint chips called "trolley" & "rain puddle" aka bright red & pale grey. Sounds weird. Zane was on board before I was, but i'm officially excited about them.
Inspection day this morning with Mr. McGrew, also one of our last steps before we close in the morning.
He said lots of pretty things like, "i'm trying really hard to find something wrong with your house & i can't find anything guys."
There is probably a 10-page report with two columns on every page that say "major" & "minor." All the "major" columns are blank...
(Angels are singing somewhere on our behalf).
One of the HUGE highlights was to discover that we have a well that is connected to an irrigation system in both the front & back yard.
Endless water + cheap water bills? Yes, please! (We actually did a happy dance in the presence of Mr. McGrew).
Next was the termite inspection with Mr. Allen, which we also passed.
I was making small talk with the man over my afternoon dose of caffeine, when he said, "are you in a hurry or something?"
I told him I wasn't at all to which he then replied, "well this is going to take about 20-minutes (dot, dot, dot)
Ok, ok, hint taken. I was highly amused & shared this story with Zane via text message.
He replied with, "Sorry. I like your small talk." Awww...
Looking forward to making the jump to 'home-owners' tomorrow!
Fun talking and texting and getting in on some of your new "do's" for your house...can't wait to see pictures when it all comes about. Know it won't happen overnight, but we'll be patient. Sounds like it's gonna look fantastic. Can't wait to see the NEW look! Congratulations on your NEW HOME :)
