A Noisy Day But With Good News

We had the roofers show up early this morning to redo the shingles on our roof, so all I have been listening to ALL day is pounding above me! It’ll be going on until Sunday! But the good news is we have sold our house! Our Realtor is coming over soon with an offer we plan to accept. There has been some back and forth with it, but the people finally came around to what we were looking for. Now the fun of finding a new house begins for real!

We have found a house we like out in the country in Ontario, about 50 minutes from where we currently live. It’s a repo and does need some work, but the layout is exactly what we are looking for. Plus, we can get it really cheap. We are going out tomorrow morning to look at it again with a good friend who happens to be a contractor. He’s going to do a “pre-inspection” for us before we put an offer in. Of course, that offer will also be contingent to a full and proper inspection.

The place is smaller thn our current house, but not by all that much. It has a nice large property with very few neighbours around, and the view from both the front and rear of the house is of just rolling land. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and is fully finished (although there is a lot to fix). I’m just hoping there is nothing major that has to be done!

At least I can rest for a couple of weeks now…maybe!

Tonight, I’ll be at the bar as I always am, but I doubt I’ll be staying too late as I do have to be up early tomorrow. ThenĀ  tomorrow night, we’re having a BBQ/Party at our home that’ll probably get wild and out of hand (as they always seem to do).
