Here goes nothing

I know a few of you have been waiting for this (*Chelle*Brenda* this is for you). I was getting some more information on one of the "issues" and by the time we put our offer in there was another offer on the house.
So...we got roped into a multiple offer situation, which is really common right now for houses in our price range. We had to submit our highest and best offer, which we did (BLAH), and it was accepted (with a couple changes, for which we are now living off Top Ramen until...when? Okay slight over exaggeration).
It was somewhat crazy to believe. Scary. Hyperventilation inducing event.

Right. So. Anyway. We had the house inspection last Saturday, which went...alright. We're waiting to hear what the bank is going to fix. You know, foreclosures are usually AS-IS, or whatever, but there were a couple things that must be done so that we don't become the Roasted Coxes in the summer, the Ice Cube Coxes in the winter, and the totally without a bath Coxes all year round. And they usually fix things that are needed to make the place habitable. We're still waiting on what they are going to do....
While at our inspection I took video for you (well, really for my dad) which I cannot seem to load on here (it is seven minutes long) so you are getting the pictures from my video camera. They aren't the best pictures ever (only 1 mega pixel people), but I know you wanted a look. OH! but you don't get to see the yard until I work out the video. Sorry. I'll keep you updated on the progress, but this is the house we are supposed to be buying!

  4. So I just looked at the pictures of your house (hopefuly) and I have to say that I am so so so jelious of your master bath! Man, I would give anything to have a tub like that. I hate small (normal) tubs where the water doesn't cover everything...that is just stupid in my oppinion. Anyway, love the tub :O)
