All the inspections are done now! And there were no huge concerns. There were definitely small concerns. The sewer pipe is "deteriorating," but not in a state of urgent repair. The floor of the walk-in master shower is cracked in one place. The furnace needs a tune-up and there are rodents under the house.

We submitted our repair addendum to the couple today and THEY ACCEPTED IT!!! They said they wanted to do the repairs themselves, though. Stephen said okay as long as they send pictures to show the work they do. So OH MY GOSH WE PRACTICALLY HAVE THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!!

Next step is house appraisal from the bank. If the bank appraises the house at less than the loan amount, they can un-approve the loan from us and I guess we will have to get re-approved for the bank's assessment of the house price and...I don't know...pay the difference? That would be a deal-breaker, I guess, but Stephen doesn't foresee that being a problem. I hope he's right.

I can't believe we might actually get this house.

Stephen says he has been waiting this entire time for something to fall through and has been continually surprised by the doors opening. Which is funny, because I've had just the opposite reaction. I've been hoping that we get the house and reminding myself that we don't have it yet. And usually I'm the one waiting for things to fall through!!

So wow. I'm excited and still nervous. Stephen is mostly nervous, LOL. He has been thinking all this while that we wouldn't get it. Amazing.

Catch you later!
