I do believe in faeries

Alright kiddies, this is it!  We have finished all of the painting we are going to do for now and are headed back to  the apartment to pack!  That is where YOU come in :)

All of you wonderful folks who are going to help us move, please meet at our apartment this Saturday at 10:00am.  We will have a truck already loaded with a new-to-us washer and dryer and ready to go.  

For those of you wanting to watch the game, it doesn't start until 4:30pm and we will be done long before that.

We no longer have immediate access to the internet at the apartment, but I will go up to the clubhouse and check my email once or twice today and tomorrow.  Call us if you need directions or have any questions.

THANK YOU!

You win some!

Last night our offer was accepted on a house :)

Something you can't see on the Photo Tour is the great backyard.  It is big and grassy and makes me happy :)  I will be holding my breath until closing on January 5th.

Does that work?

Bart and I may have finally found a house today.  We have been looking for months at the same type of Baltimore rowhome over and over and becoming increasingly disappointed.  We had found a house that we LOVED right at the beginning of our search, but we didn't get it and we never were sure why.  We offered more than the asking price.  *sigh*

This one is in a nice neighborhood and is priced right.  The catch is that it needs a lot of work.  The good part is that it needs a lot of work.  In so many places we have seen, other people have "renovated" or "updated" the house into oblivion.  Either they did a crap job or they did an amazing job, but are asking way too much for the neighborhood.  And I have decided that there is not a designer in Baltimore capable of laying out a useful kitchen.  The stove should not be shoved into the corner.  Just no.

It was built in the fourties and hasn't been updated since then, so you see, there are lovely hardwood floors underneath that dusty carpet.  They don't even need to be refinished because they haven't seen the light of day in years.  It has an oil radiator that will have to go, but probably not until after the winter...anybody out there have an oil radiator?  How do they work?  I have never seen one in action.  It needs all new everything, but we can totally afford to do it because the asking price is so low and we are going to offer even less than they are asking, I think.  Wish us luck!  I will let you all know if we get it :)
