Got news today that the appraisal came in and the valuation is sufficient for the bank to grant the mortgage. They say we'll have a commitment letter by December 6, closing on the 28th.
You know what that means?
It is....officially.....ON!
Buying the refrigerator didn't turn out to be foolish after all.
Now...we have to plan our attack. The to-do list is as follows (in no particular order):
- Procure hardwood flooring for the family room and hallway between kitchen and dining room
- Figure out how the hell to install hardwood floors
- Try not to nail my own foot to the floor with the flooring nailer (I make no promises)
- Procure some sort of vinyl tiles for the kitchen, since what's there now is screamingly terrible
- Install vinyl floor tiles
- Try not to glue myself (or the cats, or my fiance - again, no promises) to the floor
- Procure paint - we have so many paint chips right now that we could do a lovely mosaic though
- Line up an electrician to add a sub panel, install a 220 volt outlet for our dryer, and upgrade service to 200 amp
- Paint
- Get the chimney re-pointed, cleaned, and inspected
- Line up movers
- Paint
- Receive refrigerator delivery and installation
- Figure out how much sheet rock is needed to finish the basement (in order to replace the "Oh my God I'm from the seventies" wood paneling)
- Replace locks on all the doors and re-key them.
- Paint
- Procure cedar shingles to replace ones that have seen better days
- Figure out how the hell to replace said shingles
- Paint
- Lay tile in the entry ways from to the family room (front and back)
- Get bath tub re-glazed
- Paint
- Try to figure out how to fix the bath tub drain
- Replace walls around the tub (more tiling!!!)
- Find and install missing closet doors
- Did I mention that we may need to paint?
At any rate, the list is long, and I'm sure I've missed some stuff. I can't wait to get in there and get started!
