House hunting was great!!!
We saw 25 houses on Wednesday then more on Thursday. We found three houses that were fantastic.
Thursday night, Arlene and I chose one out of a hat. We made a low ball offer early Friday morning. While waiting for response, realtor for another house came back with additional info that raised that house to top of the list. When the first seller came back with a "weak" counter, we told him to beat sand and put in an offer on second house. After a day full of back and forth, and a lowered counter from first seller, we ended up with a great price on the second house.
We went to talk to owners on Saturday. Good thing, too. That house is wired. He is going to provide a wiring diagram and CD of all manuals but I think I am going to have to hire a Geek (bigger geek than me) if I want to change anything. ;)
Arlene is really happy with her dream kitchen and I am happy with construction of house and the price.
Once we put in our "killer" summer kitchen, we will invite the whole LCT bunch for a BBQ. :D
Now, we just need to find a lake house. ;)
