Bad timing
-
We finally closed our house sale yesterday. The buyers, their realtor and their attorney were scumbags, which made everything a lot more stressful than it should have been as they didn't negotiate in good faith. We should probably have walked away earlier, but it's done now.
I am now officially a resident of Rhode Island. I need to pick up a ukulele-banjo on the way home from work and start talking funny like.
We start moving up from the basement this weekend - they've sanded and polished all the floors, and it's painted white pretty much throughout.

Congratulations. It's good to be rid of yet another worry.

At least you'll never have to deal with them again. The last 3 times I bought/sold property, I didn't go to the closing. That's what lawyers get paid to do.

Every workout I can get through without an injury is a workout I am thankful I could do. I don’t take any of them for granted in my deteriorating orthopedic state.

My pond at night. Water level is low now. It’ll be more full after all the construction is done, or if we get some rain. After the construction, they begin maintaining the water level.

That will be beautiful!
Get a hammock, a small table for your beverage, and a bench down by your favorite fishing hole. -

@Doctor-Phibes congrats! Sorry to hear about the stress but a successful purchase of your home, including payment, is the only thing to remember, hopefully.
@Horace Nice gym! And even nicer view at night over the pond. That view is worth a substantial value IMO, and you know it won’t change.

Nice view Horace. Do you find it distracting when you work out?
Phibes, I hope and your family share many happy memories in your new home.

Thanks Friday! It’s not distracting. I’m usually watching something in my iPad anyway. If I look up, I fall over. Still developing my treadmill balance. I’ve never used them before, and I got this one especially for its incline, which makes balancing harder.

Before and after of the bedroom...it's still a work in progress. They're chopping down trees today.

Looks cozy. I would miss the ceiling fan. Love those things.

The room looks great, Phibes! The wood floor is bright, the ceiling is not the grey color, or was it popcorn? Anyway, a lot of work, but well worth it. Did you touch a paint brush just to see how it works, or did you leave it all to the professionals?

We had somebody come in and paint most of the house white. It took him a good three weeks, but it was worth it, as the muck left behind by 30 years of heavy smoking was horrendous.
We'll do the colours once we've had the chance to settle in a little.
The wood floors were an amazing difference - they all came up so much brighter than what we first had.

It's much easier to envision other colors when you have white to start with. Good move.
