Floors!
Our floors in the new unit are being sanded as we speak!!! The crew showed up this morning and expect to be working through the weekend to complete the job. They tested a small area in the hall closet and, although the cherry wood will be refinished slightly lighter than it currently is, Hubby saw the sample patch area and said it will look better than the currently scratched, damaged, and otherwise banged-up floors. We hope it will turn out well! Wish us luck!!!

Our New Apt!
Well, it's official. We bought a new condo and we even have the keys! Wanna see photos??? We thought you would! Drum roll please...
Ta-da!!! We have some painting and fixtures we'd like to replace, so we're not ready to move in yet, but that's it -- our new home! Leave a comment to let us know what you think!

Keys
And the saga continues! Although we signed all closing papers yesterday afternoon, we're missing one key (pun intended) item before we can move into our new home. The key to the front door!!!
Believe it or not, we have not received the keys to the apartment or the storage closet. At yesterday's final walk-through, the seller said he'd leave the keys with the doorman. After we signed the closing papers yesterday afternoon though we came home to find that the doorman did not have the keys to the unit. Even after all the ink has dried on the contracts, this guy is still causing us stress! This has definitely got to be one of the most annoying real estate purchases in history.

We Closed...Barely
So we got up this morning to do the walk through and Nicole was not feeling well. And by not feeling well I mean one step away from the black plague. Yes, wifey was very ill: fever, vomiting, the chills, you name it! But the show must go on so I did the walk through alone while she rested on the couch (and texted me a few times: "do you want me to come?" "i think I can walk" "can you get me some morphine?"). The walk through was fairly uneventful...seller was supposed to caulk some small cracks in the ceiling of the second bedroom, but "wasn't sure what you meant" so he didn't do it. I literally dragged wifey to the closing at 3:30...she was barely hanging on but managed to sign all of the papers and then go home and collapse on the couch for 14 hours. Suffice it to say, we closed and have a new apartment. Now we just need some medicine for my better half.

The Closing
Tomorrow is our final walk through on the new apartment and the closing. The walk through is scheduled for 9 AM and the closing is at 3:30. Wish us luck!

Final Inspection
Our final walk through on the new apartment was scheduled for this evening, but we just heard from our realtor that the seller has not yet completed all the repairs needed, so we're rescheduling for Thursday morning. This is slightly frustrating because we're supposed to close on Thursday afternoon so if there is anything still unfinished by Thursday morning there isn't much time to correct it. This whole process has been anything but easy, so I'm not that surprised. Guess we just have to take it in stride and hope for the best!
