Black walnut makes some awful pretty wood...Even makes good gunstocks.

Yes, we thought we might keep some and see what we could do with it

Roomy is very good

What do your kids think of the new place?

They’re coming around to the idea - I think they’re upset to leave the house they’ve always known as home, but they can see the potential of having more space.

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.

Pics?

Congratulations Phibes on the successful move at a complicated time in the market.

Not until it’s fixed up a bit. I might try to get some pics of the floors as they look great. There’s still quite a bit to do outside. They tore the deck down on Wednesday so it’s a building site

I just Googled "Rhode Island Home", the first thing I saw was this

So expect something similar

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.

Nice setup Horace.

[Rainman]

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.

[Aqua Letifer]

Nice home setup.

@Horace @Doctor-Phibes Congrats and best wishes to you both!!! Hope you enjoy your home!!
