Both guns blazing!

Here we go! Time for a new blog! I plan on posting about the process of moving and tackling repairs, and life in general as first time homeowners. My wife Sarah and I could not be more excited! Plan on this being boring for most, and really exciting for some!

Today, with most other elements in place for our closing on May 22nd, I lined up our homeowners' insurance policy. The good news is that the new policy will cover our belongings while we move, so we can cancel our renters' policy starting on our closing date. This will save us a little money, which is always good. I plan to spend the money saved on a new bag of rice!

We have been making little lists over the last couple of months of the projects that will need tackling, and making note of the urgency. Clearly, a family has been living in the house we are buying for a number of years, but we encountered evidence of neglect or poor workmanship that we feel we need to deal with sooner than later.

It's a funky number, to be sure. We are excited about the natural light that the design affords. Also looking forward to our first legitimate garden, as well as the prospect of pet lover-ship. I am looking forward to squeezing chairs out of an awkward basement that is probably about four times the size of my current awkward shop!

OK, good first post! Let's see how this whole thing unfolds!
1love
