So, I'm not sure when we close yet. We have to meet with our RE Agent tomorrow to sign some paperwork. We also have to schedule inspections for this coming week and hopefully nothing major is wrong. It does need some work, but really mostly cosmetic stuff. Like the kitchen is YELLOW, yellow appliances, yellow laminate countertop. Everything works, its just ugly. lol There are hardwood floors under the carpet, so we'll take that out. Paint every room. At some point in the future the upstairs bathroom will need to be redone. Its fine, just a little dated. So, we'll have some projects, but my FI is a plumber and a good friend is an electrician so we should be able to to a lot of stuff ourselves. His dad is good friends with a guy who owns a construction company. So, we'll be calling in some favors. lol

The best news about the house is that it has the three things I wanted, that weren't really important, but would've been great bonuses and we got ALL 3! A fireplace in the living room, a one car garage and a pink tree in the yard! Not necessities, but things I love.

Pics coming next...

Ha, they didn't put any pics of the kitchen online because it was soooo ugly! None of the bathroom either. Its teal with dark red accents. Really hot! lol I'll have to take some when I can get in there again.
