Closing in



So the Wife and I-(it's not legal yet-sorry mom and grandparents, but she's my wife to me) are meeting with a bunch of suits on Friday to sign our names over 600 times. It's called a closing, not sure what it is-Shannon handles that end of the knowledge department. This will be our first home. At 36 I decided what was important to me was my family, a nice home and the security of a good job. NOT worrying about free beers at a crappy bar gig or whether or not we get free food.
Pretty excited about having a nice place to call my own. The house is a production home, about 4 years old and in perfect shape.There are real hardwood floors and a nice unpainted crown moulding on the main floor. We can do four things to help with the equity:change the linoleum floors in the kitchen and 2.5 baths to a simple tile,paint the main floor walls and trim, deck on the back, and privacy fence.
I guess I am going to try and post pics of our trials and tribulations. Were moving in on June 8Th and 9Th if anyone wants to help.
