We Have a Deal!

It would appear that we have a deal and will close on the house Thursday! As many of you know, the inspection revealed a few issues with the house, most of them minor, a couple not so much. The big issues were negative drainage around the perimeter of the house on the east and north sides and a chimney that was way out of plumb (speaking of plum, our baby is now the size of one). During the two or three weeks since the inspection, we have had an engineer out to take a look and make recommendations about how to fix the issues and we've had several contractors out to give bids on what it will cost to fix. Armed with the numbers, we went back to the sellers and after several rounds of negotiation came away with a deal that everyone an live with. Obviously, we would have liked to get more money out of them, but they are giving us enough to fix the major problems and we feel that we are getting a great deal on a sweet house. Not so sweet is the prospect of moving! Which is why I am blogging instead of packing. Anyway Montana is paradise in the summer so come on up and stay with us in our new place.
