Rewind: Closing Day

The last few weeks have been so crazy, I haven't had time to do any updating. Time to go back and recap the last two weeks starting with April 30.

We were scheduled to close on the house at 11:30 but at the last minute, the buyer found some standing water in the air vents in our master bedroom. We had no idea it was there or how it got there so Karl had to do some quick scrambling to get some guys out to the house to take a look. After some staring at the house, two civil engineers determined it was just water collecting in a low spot near the window at the back of the house causing it to back up into the vents. The buyer still wanted the house so we agreed to cover the cost of extending the downspouts further to prevent water from pooling near the house. We were thankful it was minor but it made for a crazy morning. We finally closed at 1 p.m. and I had to rush back to work for my going away party. Here are the last photos taken at our first house. We miss it already!
