Week 23, Day 163 - We closed!

We finally closed on the house!  All monies due to everyone have been paid (with the exception of the bank holding our mortgage of course) as of this morning!!

What a wonderful feeling.  The house finally feels like ours.  Breathe in, breathe out.

There is still work that needs to be done that is part of our contract that we are all aware of.  Winter is a tough time to do outside work!  The front porch needs to be painted as does the gable over the porch.  The yard is one big mud pit right now.  Ron will come in once everything dries out and smooth everything out and apply the topsoil so we can seed/sod.

We're still unpacking.  We keep saying we need to take pictures for the blog, and we will.  Soon. :-)

Our "Scrapbook"

I've never been proficient at scrapbooking, but I wanted a way of capturing the building of our new home. A blog is the perfect way for two "techies" to accomplish the artistry of capturing memories.

We moved from the Midwest to the East Coast in October 2008. We found our building site in November 2008, and broke ground in October 2009.

Henceforth, The Building of Blackthorn Ridge.
