08/25/2005: "It Is Happening!"

It has been done. A house has been located! My good friend Clint, who has been looking to purchase his first house, has found one to his liking. The intent being, he would buy a big house, and I and my current co-habitant would move in with him. The search ended last weekend with another tour of the house. This time with more people in tow.

It is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 2 story house with a finished basement, 2 kitchens, a large well-built back porch with solid roof/overhang, a decent sized yard, large 2 car garage, like-new blacktop driveway that is just inside Danville city limits, yet heading out of town so it doesn't have the crowded-in-town-neighborhood feel.

The inside of this house is in perfect shape. The current owners didn't use the kitchen on the main floor very much, so it has no wear-and-tear. (They used the kitchen in the basement.) There is a large, full bathroom on each level of the house. The 2nd floor consists of the two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The first floor has the entry-way, large living room-dining-kitchen area, with a full living room off to the side. The master bedroom and a bathroom are on the first floor, as is the laundry area leading to the back porch area. The basement has another full kitchen/dining area, full bathroom, and living room.

I believe the only bad thing is the choice of carpet colors. The carpet is in perfect shape, however, the color is not to our liking, and the upstairs kitchen is carpeted. Clint plans to take care of that almost first thing.

This week we looked into the loan process, and Clint has been approved. The owners have taken the house off the market, and have started the closing process. In a few weeks, the house will be ours for the living.

All this, as I am about to start my new job with Walgreens, and my sister is turning 21; should make for an interesting and exciting month of September.
