Homeownership

We closed on the condo yesterday! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

The whole thing went with only minor drama. (Some guy has his stuff in our storage locker and we had to make sure that they hadn't sold the thing twice. Then there was soem question of Atticus being legal. He is.) We're now the proud owners of... a set of keys. It's still not really real to us that we own the condo.

Why, you ask, did I fail to post this yesterday? G.I. bug. Lots of tummy troubles to the point where Christopher came home this afternoon to take care of me and May.

The condo is still empty, naturally. We're planning on moving some time after Thanksgiving. On Mary's suggestion, we've chosen Gentle Giant as our moving company and they will even pack for us, which seems decadant but worth the money.

Finally, here are some photos. They are actually really dull -- photos of empty rooms. But lots of people have asked for them. So....



This is the horror show of a bathroom. Yes, it's tiny. But the toilet always works! And if it doesn't, I can rip that puppy out and put in a new one!



The kitchen is a nice little triangle, with brand-new appliances. There's even a dishwasher! I haven't had a dishwasher since I was living at my parents' place. It will be exciting.



This is the window in May's room. I thought I had a better photo, but I seem to have deleted some of them accidentally. (That's also why you won't see the library/dining room. I don't have a photo.) May's room is smallish, with a GIANT closet that we'll be using as the household linen closet.



This is our bedroom. It's boring.



This is the living room. Dontcha love the windows? That's why we bought the place -- those fabulous windows.
