It's Ours!

Well, almost. The loan will fund on Tuesday, January 18. We signed the papers at the title company last Wednesday, but because the underwriters requested one more comparable, we didn't find out until late Friday afternoon that the loan was approved. We didn't let that stop us from sharing some champagne with our builder after we signed the papers!

We took the bar stools from home out so we could at least have a place to sit. We're taking a U-Haul truck out on Saturday January 22 with more furniture from home so we can start making weekend stays.

Other than a few finishing touches, the house is complete. Carpet has been installed in the guest rooms and media room and all the appliances are in.

The light fixtures are hung and the steam sauna is all hooked up and working. I can't wait to try it out!

We will probably be out the next few weekends getting the place livable. We still have major appliances to get (refrigerator, TV, home theater system to name a few). Phone, cable TV, internet access and security system are getting installed at the end of January. We also made a trip to Austin last Saturday to look at the garage flooring I want to have installed. We visited the home of a very nice lady who lives up at Lakeway on Lake Travis to see a recently completed installation. It was so beautiful, Winnie wants it installed on the back patio as well! Looks like I'm going to be working for a little while longer after all.
