Just in case you were following the trials and tribulations of Sahm and S.Rod’s Excellent Real Estate Adventure, here’s an update.

Yes, the rumblings among the villagers are true: we are now officially homeowners. The closing took place on Friday and everything went through without any major hitches. But why am I not completely joyous right now? Because we did not move into the unit. It turns out that there are a lot of punchlist items which are incomplete. It would be difficult (if not impossible) to address these things with all of our belongings in the unit. So now, we can only hope that everything can be cleared up by week’s end.

On the bright side, it is very nice to have a set of keys again, after living out of a couple of boxes while sleeping on a sofa bed for the past month. But I’m not bitter… maybe a tad bit sour on the whole ‘new house high’ thing, but certainly not bitter.

After all, once everything is in place, the next level of life shall begin. You’ll see.

P.S. Pictures coming soon, I promise. Cheers.
