I haven't been around in a long time because my husband and I decided to buy a house. We went through all of the processes necessary and found a house we loved. We made an offer and the seller accepted....and that is when the adventure began. We found some things that needed to be fixed and then inspector found even more things that needed to be fixed. The back and forth went on and the seller decided to pay for most of it. There was a drainage issue that needed to be fixed since the house is on a sloped lot, that was fixed. There were electrical issues that needed repair, they were fixed. There were other minor issues, they were fixed. Then the big one hit...a big foundation problem that was hidden behind sheet rock. This became a big issue between us, the seller, and then the VA. The inspector wouldn't come and sign off until it was done. Closing was delayed and then finally, WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE HOUSE OURS! It was a great day!
Luckily we had a month to move, so we took our time. I wanted to paint just about the entire main floor and that took up most of that month. I bought things over little by little every time I came to the house. We only needed movers for our furniture that we couldn't move ourselves. You would think that would be the end of it, but wait, there's more.
The A/C unit for the main floor had been neglected, so it needed to be fixed three times. The dishwasher wasn't washing dishes, so we needed a new one. When installing it, we found out that our floors were not glued down, so guess what we are doing now? Getting all new floors in the kitchen and all three bathrooms. I have a feeling when one thing is accomplished, another thing needs help. We will eventually get it all the way we want it.
I am just happy we have our own new house and things are better than ever. Now you know where I have been.
