Topic: One Step Closer!

As most of you know I have been living in a Craig's List find apt for the last , mmm what now, 6 months.  I spent last week on and off with a realtor and yesterday (May 1st) morning I submitted a bid.  I gave up on a 2 car garage for a 1 car, and I dont have  much yard, but at the prices around here,, I think I can live with it.

Another bid was put in right behind mine for more money actually, yet (if I am to take my agents word) He is one hell of a salesman! They went with with my offer as their agent believed my ability to actually carry it all through was a better deal, and it was a Navy family who's wife was retiring.  He said they wanted to keep things in the navy family.  So once the money is actually a go,, I should have a house by the time Carla and the Dogs are ready to come to town.  was telling the kids tonight that we had a house.  Mine is due to close on the 18th, and in may ( Labor day)  I will be heading to TX  to help with that drive.

Re: One Step Closer!

Thanks all.  Seems there has been some BS on my end in Texas as of the day I put in the bid. Now is the waiting game.

Re: One Step Closer!

Let's see, you have Dogs, and a creek in the back yard...... AND (I'm guessing) White Carpeting !!!? wink

Really we have 2 (a Golden & a Lab), sometimes 3 Acres doesn't seem enough.... until it's time to "weed-whack" the fenceline.  Looks like a nice place to live !

Re: One Step Closer!

That's a beautiful place, Beamer and I hope you get it.

Something about your OP struck me as humorous and  I wanted to share it with you in the hopes that you too will find it so and not take offense. Being that you are known as "The Metalizer" and having seen how you expressed the words, "Carla and the Dogs", I immediately thought: BAND NAME!!!!. wink wink

I honor your service and good on you that the owner wants to sell to a military family!

Best Wishes!

That's how mine works.  It's such a good system that my knees have adopted it.

Re: One Step Closer!

Its official, 830 AM on the 16th we will sign closing documents on the house.  even better news, the repo to teh left of us has been bought and being gutted.  Any upgrade in the neighborhood means my value has just increased!  the dogs are freaked out,  The lady at the kennel says Moose wont come to her unless she gets his brother first when she takes them out to the free run yard.  the others are doing pretty good.  We miss our kids and our animals.  Ready to get this over with!
