For your protection get a home inspection

The home inspection was today and went well. A few things here and there but nothing major. Well maybe one major thing in my opinion...the dishwasher is not working right! That means we can get it fixed, buy a new one or hand wash dishes. Since it is the OG dishwasher we don't want to repair because it is 13 years old. I have never been without a dishwasher so it sounds like we will be buying a new one...YAY!

We also found out today that we will be closing on Oct 20th and maybe sooner.

We are stoked!

Appraisal

YAY the appraisal is done and it is good. So the only thing left is the inspection on Monday. We also locked our interest rate today at a pretty good rate. With the rates changing as much as they are we decided to do it to be safe rather than sorry.

The waiting is the hardest part!

Pest Inspection

Courtney, our realtor, received our pest inspection yesterday and all is good except some dry rot. Luckily the bank is going to be paying for the repairs to be done early next week. So one step closer.
