I know it's silly, but I bought a fisheye lens/filter for my camera so I can take wide-angle photos of the rooms in my house for before and after pictures. Obviously it's not a real fisheye lens because those costs more than my down payment.
I mailed out my signed commitment letter for the financing, I'm going to call the insurance agent today to set that up, and then...I wait for the dreaded appraisal. I have no idea how that's going to go.
Yesterday I took Anna to see it, just the outside since I obviously don't have a key (yet) and we all noticed that the backyard had been mowed. Turns out my neighbor (ha!) mowed it. We thanked him and got to see his dog--it was a beautiful little Sheltie that jumped out of the car and stood with it's head high all but posing in the sunlight with the wind blowing it's hair. It was almost comical, but a very nice looking dog and obviously well-behaved.
Even for a rather busy holiday weekend and there were obviously people out barbequing and what not, it was still very quiet. There is so much work to be done on the outside, let alone the inside, and I think I'd rather work from the outside in as far as renovating. I need to tear out these weed-trees that someone had the bright idea to not only continue to let grow, but they defined that space with stones! Dumb. The side chainlink fence has to be painted since it's all different colors and I noticed that the braces that would attach the chainlink to the posts are missing and the only thing keeping it up, really, is the overgrown vines and weeds. That'll be fun to sort out...but there is nothing quite as rewarding as a well-kept yard.
I've discovered that just about everything that I want for my house is at K-Mart because of Martha Stewart. So not only will it look nice, it's all super affordable. Which is always a good thing. Oooh! I didn't even mean to say that but it fits so perfectly.
I'm hungry, I might go try to find something to eat.
