Some Closure and Some Opening

 

First things first, we sold our house last week! It was on the market for 5 months before it was under contract, and then another 45 days to close. The weird thing is that after it was under contract, three other parties called to try and put an offer on it. They were all people that had seen it during that previous 5 months and never pulled the trigger. Oh well.

I was a little sad last week. We lived in that house for 6 years and Q was born there. We have a lot of great memories and will miss a few of our neighbors in particular. It feels weird walking away and handing the keys to someone else, but I know we will make great memories at our new place.

 

Moving on…………..Donnie and the crew spent last Friday taking out the back wall and re-framing it.

They got it all finished, but I wasn’t there to take pictures. The windows and doors should be here in about a week. Until then, they put plywood up in their places.

Here’s the view from inside the “kitchen”.

That tree right in front of the window is going to be removed, as well as the one you can partially see at the right edge of the picture.

This is the view from the eating area. We are putting in 3 pairs of 8 ft French doors.

So that’s it for now. Things should be moving more quickly, so I’ll update more regularly. We are living with Donnie’s Mom and would like to get into the new place in a few months. We’ll see. :)
