in 2 days i'm going to have the keys to my first house. *brain exploding* i can't wait. my realtor did a walk-through last night (we'll do another one together friday) to check out the ceiling water damage and make sure it'd been fixed... she says the plaster is damp, but that may be because it was just done, not because there's still a leak. we'll see on friday.
the bummer is, she toured the entire place, and noticed things we hadn't seen before (meaning they're new, because the inspector went over every inch of the place): a lot of cracked floor tiles in the foyer. one of the closets off its track, that won't go back on. to me, it sounds like the movers they hired to pack them up just went in and scooped everything up, with no regard for damaging anything in the process. so i may need my handyman to fix the closet now, and i may need to replace the floor tiles in the entryway. grrrrrr.
oh... and she said the place is filthy. good thing i planned to go in friday afternoon and scrub it top to bottom... sounds like it's going to need it.
it seems like every time i go in there, there's a problem... is this what home ownership is going to be? going broke over fixing things every week?
