After 4 months of cold air circulating through the house, 4 months of hosting construction workers at all hours of the day, 4 months of not knowing how much long it was going to last, we finally got our house completed on December 22, 2008.
But the wait was definitely worth it! Instead of having to sell our "dream townhouse" and having to move out into the sticks, we were able to increase to value of it twofold and be able to stay in the best location in town (five walking minutes from the Landestheater, 7 minutes from the historical district). The kids are elated, of course, because everyone gets their own room!
Quite a Christmas present then wasn't it? I'll be checking your blog for more new-home posts (hopefully with pics so us renters can remain envious of you).
AntwortenLöschenSpeaking of envious, and completely off topic, it made me happy to hear that you and V. married and to remember being around you two the summer you met. It's a wonderful thing. Give her my best.
This looks like a great place! I loved seeing the other pictures on Facebook. You should post them here. When we moved into our new house, our kids each got there own room, and they were elated too!
