Buying a house!

So you buy a house and get the key. You pick the moving day and get some fine individuals from church to help you out. You pack up the moving van and drive over to the house. You expect that all is well and that by the end of the day you will be sleeping in your new home. WRONG!!!!

In the case of the Holmstrom's first home the condition in which the home was left was so bad that we were delayed moving in by 9 days! 9 freakin' days! I mean these folks didn't even bother to lift the toilet seat and clean off there pee stains. Not that I was or will ever sit on the toilet until I purchase new seats but come on people, give me a little effort.

Finally however, Megan and I are moved in. When will we finally be finished unpacking....that is a whole other tale to tell.

I was told by a friend in the real estate that you can put in the closing comments that the house has to be in clean shape or the seller will have to pay for the cleaner that will be hired. After seeing the two ladies across the street and the dilemma that they went through when they moved in I plan on doing that when it comes to our next house. That is awful to have to deal with and try to move in and unpack with three little tykes in tow!

Congrats on the new house! I wanna see some pics! Well, not of the pee stains, but once you get settled in!

Welcome to home ownership! That really stinks that it was in such rough shape. Was it bank owned? Anyhow, We're really excited for you guys - We'd love to see pictures when you can!

Found the blog son. Did you talk to the realter about the situation? Any recourse? If not chalk it up to experence as they say. There will be many more experence moments in life, hopfully most will be good, all will be instructive. Yes, I also want to see some pictures so as soon as you have some send them along. Things are good here at home. The weather is getting colder and we have had snow in the mountains. Football is crudy though. How is your team
