Our New House (nearly)
This morning we went to see the house that we’re in the process of buying. It was fun measuring walls and seeing everything for the second time. It’s a cute house with scope for doing work to it. Just need to decide what to do first!
Here’s me outside! The sold sign is up - it’s official!
Here’s part of the garden that we share with 3 other houses - perfect for future Mosaic gatherings and for mingling with our new neighbours
My head is full of plans and furniture ideas and an excitement - I want to make that house a home!
Tomorrow we’re going to Starbucks to hang out with some new friends, then Mosaic gathers at our house to have food and hear about our vision. There could be up to 18 people!
Right, I’ll get back to Saturday night TV… Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Whooo hooo! O.k. now, I’m ready to make good on that “help us fix it up” promise!
When does escrow close? When can we get an iSight tour?

As to the offers of help, you’d be very welcome! There’s actually more to do than we initially thought…previous owners have done superficial improvements to the house, a lot of which we’d want to redo properly. (I think they tiled the bathroom themselves and REALLY didn’t know what they were doing!)

Deana - you, me, IKEA and a rental van! That’s a day out!
I’ve been having fun writing down all we need and doing a budget!
