I am a nervous wreck.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

I meet the lawyer at the courthouse today to "close" on my house.

eek!

I am signing away my life.

[Iggo]

1. You're signing up for a certain life.

Still scary, though.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

2. my stomach...

could Not sleep last night.

[Boojatta]

15. That's because you have not yet agreed to rent a basement room to me.

I trust that there will be internet access down there.

7. I know the feeling.

eat a little something - cereal or bread or a couple of crackers

start learning who the good handymen/small contractors are! and get some good DYI books - so much stuff you can do yourself if you aren't afraid to try

[Mr. Ected]

14. I'm a real estate lawyer.

I know how you're feeling today.

Rest assured, you're not signing your life away.

Just your money.

[Boojatta]

16. When people offer the choice "your money or your life" ...

are you supposed to sign something?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. It was very stressful to me.

You guys make things so complicated, seems to me.

[S n o w b a l l]

17. Congratulations, Tuesday!

How did it go? Is the house that you posted the pics of? I love that house!

I hope you'll be able to sleep easier tonight. I know you won't be sorry! Home ownership
is a wonderful thing.

:hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. thanks Snowball --

it is a different house but has the same type of floorplan. There will be pics soon. :hug:

[Kali]

18. well?

I hope everything went perfectly - tell us more about your new place, I need to hear some good news.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. well --

this was the notary closing. The final closing should take place in 120 days. and I had to sign some kind of paper about the right of way ... shit. I forget what it is called and I don't have a copy of that paper. Anyway, it is because my road is not a deeded a right of way.

They will break ground next week. I still have to finish tearing down the outbuilding where the house is going. My brother and I have been working on that every weekend for a month now. We only have the flooring left and we will get that moved this weekend.

I will post pics when I have broken ground.

:scared:

:bounce:

:D

:hug:

[Kali]

24. OMG another 4 months!

I would freak OUT!

at least you get to go work on it and stuff.

congratulations, really - something to be very proud of for yourself.:toast:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. I know ---

just when I think I have it all wrapped up.

Hopefully, it will not take the full 4 months *fingers crossed* because I really will be a nervous wreck by then :)

thanks :toast:

[hippywife]

25. It wouldn't be scary

if it weren't such a life changing event, and so worth it to have your own space. Soon you will be able to look around you and relax.

Wishing you happiness in your new home. :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. thank you hippywife

:hug:

[carlyhippy]

28. It's always scary at closing

We have bought 2 houses. Both times my hands were so cramped up I could barely grab the keys, after all the "sign here, and here and here, initial here and here and date and initial here and here ha.

Its a good feeling after tho.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

29. turns out that this was only the notary closing -- final will be in 120 days

and I have a very long name.

but, yeah

a good feeling :)
