Cheesy Manor

So, I thought I’d do a separate thread on this.

As mentioned in What Did You Buy Today thread, things sure have changed a lot since I got my last mortgage in 1995. Things move a lot faster now.

We offered a lowball, but not insulting, bid late Friday morning. The sellers countered Friday afternoon with a number that was below what we had first considered to offer. Sold.
I have been e-signing one or two documents a day with the realtor and the lender until yesterday. Then things went into high gear.
We are closing on Nov. 18. The home inspection was yesterday, as was the radon test. I’m in Iowa this week so Mrs. C attended. That ran three hours. The inspector was thorough and walked Mrs. C through sump pumps, wells and septics, and anything else a city girl moving to the sticks needed to know, as well as the radiant floor heat in my garage(be very careful drilling holes in the floor).The house got two thumbs up. I spent a good two hours reading and signing documents in my hotel room last night.

Well and septic inspection is next week. Lawyers are talking to each other. Along with the appliances that stay, anything that is in the big garage is staying. That’s a large bench vise, a big shop vac, and a real self propelled snow blower. There’s supposedly a lawn mower there somewhere but I don’t recall seeing it. My Deere has a 42” deck, so I’m not concerned.

Mrs. C and I have been checking out the town. I’ve been scoping out pizza joints(very important) and auto parts stores. The largest NAPA in the county is between the new place and the towns southernmost stoplight. There are only two stoplights. There are some good restaurants along with a new bakery and a couple of antique shops, a JD dealer, Chevy dealer, a great meat market, a library, and an ice cream place.

Now, I think I may have finally broken Mrs. C of her annoying habit of “Hey, come over here and look at this neat house I found online.”
