Week 2 of construction

And here are some more photos of the basement. As you can see, the walls are up and a small amount of basement plumbing is in. The area around the outside of the walls was dug out, so I couldn't get real close.

We bought a new home! Well, to be more accurate, we are contractually obligated to purchase a home when its construction is completed. It will be in Hamilton Twp, Ohio, near Maineville. We have a nearly half acre cul-de-sac lot. The house has 4 bedrooms with 2140 sq ft and will have a full unfinished basement. Construction is expected to complete in March 2010.

Trogdor pumpkin!

I screwed it up, but I think it turned out alright. Trogdor was supposed to be cut out, rather than being the part that was left.

Our closing date has been changed to July 14th due to a lender delay.

We'll be back in Lafayette this weekend for Father's Day, and again for July 4th weekend.

We've received a verbal acceptance of our counter offer. w00t! Right now the closing date is set for July 9th. The buyer was out of town today and wasn't available to sign the acceptance document yet, but he's supposed to when he gets back. Hopefully he doesn't change his mind in the mean time.

We got another offer on the house today. This is the third one we've gotten so far, but most of them have been really low and no one has accepted or even countered our counter offers. Hopefully this one goes better.

When Best Buy delivered the washer & dryer, they decided to install them for us for free. They work pretty well. The washer supposedly only costs $8/year in energy to operate so that's a plus.
