We closed escrow on our old house 3 days ago, and we’ve been homeless ever since. Luckily, this is one of those busy weeks when half of the family is already out of town– my husband on a work trip, and my son at a skateboard summer camp (yes, that is a real thing).
So my 10 year old daughter, and our dog, Bailey, and I are crashing my girlfriend’s house. She has been generous enough to have us, especially since she is also kid-free for the week. Next week, we will stay at another friends’ home while they are out of town. After that, a week of camping and vacation before we head home to HOPEFULLY close on our NEW (very old) house. It still seems like a dream, but slowly and surely, we’ve completed many more steps than I ever thought were involved in this process, and we’re just getting started.
We hired the designer to draw our plans, the engineer to- well, do whatever it is that they do involving a very expensive stamp, and finally, we hope to nail down (ha!) the contractor. Things are progressing. Moving out of our house was definitely a reality check- this is really happening, but still…. getting through the next few weeks until we close will be a challenge. Oh, and then there’s that business of 6 months of construction while we’re living in a fifth wheel on the property. Oh yes, stay tuned…
