We ordered the inspection, with a firm time of 8am, Friday morning.

We’ll search for foundation damage, test the water pressure, rate the roof, taste the dirt, etc. Plus, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for TMD’s (termites of mass destruction).

It’s a nice little neighborhood, but a couple blocks off of Sandy. The taxes increased by 25 percent over the last place, so maybe that means something? We’ll proudly pay it. The neighbors do a good job keeping their places up.

More space. And we’ll fill it, you bet.

An upstairs. Yay. The “eagle’s nest’ for winter sleeping. Might be a little too hot for summer slumber, which we look forward to testing.

The backyard could use a fence. We want some privacy.

The garage is in good shape, and comes with out a “charming lean.” It stands tall and proud.

The paint job is new, and minty.

The porch has enough room for a couple folks to sit and stand guard from the imminent invasion from Washington state. You never know these days. (Ryno back in Minneapolis, watch out for Wisconsin. Kurt, Ohio has always had a chip on it’s shoulder concerning Detroit.)

More to come, as it comes in.

I envy your situation. The wife, child, and I are embarking on the homeowner trek as we speak. We’re preapproved for a stupid amount of money (gotta love California) and now have to begin the “search”. Oh how I wish we were done and in your situation.

Good luck chief!

This one looks good - looks like there’s some space in the back there, a garage and whatnot? Good luck with the inspection. We light candles here in the Absenter Basecamp in vigilance.

let me know when you close. My offer stands - I’ll come out and teach you how to swing a hammer, in case you need to, you know, fix somethin.

We’ll build the sickest fucking fence the Pacific Nordwest has ever seen.
