We had the closing yesterday and are now happy homeowners. The closing went smoothly. Here's a shot of Brian before the closing:
I meant to get pictures during the closing but it all went by so fast. After the closing, we picked up some Chinese food and headed straight for the house. Here is Brian bringing in some chairs for us to sit on:
Then we cracked open the champagne to celebrate:
We happily wandered around the house talking about our ideas and plans. Our agent, Dan Warnest, stopped by to get a picture of us with the sold sign:
Our next priority was a trip to Home Depot (and then Menard's and then Home Depot again). I am now the proud owner of a lawn mower, a sprinkler and a hose.
But our biggest priority was changing the locks. We were going to blow a bunch of money and just buy new locks, but discovered the locks on our house and garage were all the same brand. Menard's just so happens to have a key changing kit for it. Here's Brian with his new favorite puzzle, re-keying a lock:
It was both easier and harder than either of us imagined.
While I sat by, it was starting to get dark out. I took a shot of the kitchen from where I was sitting:
Here's Brian installing the last rekeyed door knob:
More pictures to come soon. Honestly, these were the only pics I got because it all flew by so fast. I hope to get back today and tomorrow to take more pictures.
