Settlement day today! Feels very surreal after staying with my parents for the last 6 weeks. Their house is ginormous and it feels like this little house would fit into the family room ;)
So we picked up the keys and went on up to have a look (as you do). The old lady we purchased the house from was still there as she had been finishing off clearing up. She moved into a nursing home between our first and second looks through the house which would have been 4 months ago now and I guess she hadn't spent much time there except for the last couple of weeks trying to get things done. It felt a bit awkward but we had a chat and she told me she had been there for 25 years. She showed us her pond and where the fish food was so we could feed her babies. Her taxi showed up not long after and after she left we went inside.
The kids went feral crazy running around and ripped a bedroom door from its hinges! I was less than impressed that we had owned the house for an hour or so and they had already busted something but on closer inspection it was barely hanging on anyway as the jamb had split long ago.
