I finally bought a house!

I finally bought a house, for real this time. I just started moving today and it is only now that I realized how much crap I truly have. Moving was an all day event that took three strong, burly man friends to accomplish. I’ve attached some pictures of my house before I started moving stuff in. It’s a brand new construction, two stories, three bedrooms, one and half baths on a little lot that is right next to the train tracks. Literally, the train is a neighbor of mine. I’m sure in a week I’ll know all the regular conductors. Well, I’m about to go sleep here for the first time! I’ll send more pictures once I get everything moved in. A big thanks to my brawny men, Todd, Jim, and Dave for helping me move.

I Might buy a House!

I haven’t been posting Chronicles lately because I’ve been busy looking for a house and I’ve finally found a good one. I've put in a bid and I'm set to close on the 26th of June. The house is little (around 500sq. ft.) but it has a full basement and sits on about a quarter acre of property. It’s inside Asheville city limits, but the dead end road it’s on is quiet…except for the trains that will rumble by on the tracks that aren’t too far away. I think this house will suite me well.

I’ve attached some of the pictures that were listed with the house. When I move in, I’ll take some of my own. I’ve been waiting, and bargaining, and probably even insulting people with my low offers for months now, but it’s finally paid off with this very good deal. Since I’m a first time homebuyer I’ll be getting $8,000 from Uncle Sam and with interest rates really low my mortgage isn’t bad either. Yep, this is a good time to buy and I’m excited to finally own my own home.
