Ahhh, sweet Internet, it is so great to have you back. Thanks to the lovely snow, essentially every hotel in our area being sold out, and the seller leaving our new house dirtier than a truck stop bathroom, I've had no time to get online the past few days.
We have now been in our new house for 3 days. I can tell you, no matter how many inspections, walk throughs, or drive bys you do, you will always find a few new surprises once you actually own the home. For us, the first surprise was how dirty and cluttered it was left. Meggan and I got on our hands and knees and scrubbed the house we sold. We did this because we wanted the new owners to walk in and feel great about their purchase. The house we purchased had moldy cheese in the fridge, a dump truck worth of half used toiletries in the cabinets, and enough hair left around to make a homemade Donald Trump wig. The second surprise was that our bedroom is about 10 degrees colder than anywhere else in the house. All vents are open. The hallway outside the the room feels fine. However, Meg and I have had to sleep with 2 blankets just to fight off hypothermia. The last surprise so far is that water doesn't come out of one of our faucets and doesn't stay in our shower. Oh well, I guess you can't win them all.
The good news is these are all minor issues and we both feel extremely lucky to have our new home. I'm looking forward to the years ahead and the countless memories these walls will witness.
