One step closer
May. 8th, 2008 07:07 amThey have accepted our counter offer of 206K, they pay no closing costs. It is the same offer from before, the money is just rearranged. They want more earnest money, fine. I don't see why, it is money they don't see (only if we break the contract not using any of the numerous outs we have throughout the process). We can role most of the costs into the financing.
Now to get through inspection with minimal things wrong. There are some shingles missing and I am hoping that is just it, no real roof damage. The corner of the garage has some rot issues that I hope can be fixed to the satisfaction of the VA. I want to get back in and see if I can figure out if they floors are hardwood under the carpet.
If not hardwood, I want to Pergo the master bedroom and take the carpet up in the master bath. If hardwood, rip up the carpet and get the floors redone before one item comes into the upper level of the house.
We need to buy a bed and a 'fridge. Size of the 'fridge space is funky so there is only one that will fit, a Maytag.
We need more shelves from Costco for the Safeway Annex. The annex will hold most of the pantry and all our various kitchen goodies that don't get used that much. Like cupcake pans, I think I have only used them once since moving here.
Going to have to activate the Discover card so we can get this place cleaned. Broken foot and all, I can't do it. Not to mention the lifting.
Time to send more stuff to the rummage sale pile.
