First, the closing was delayed from Monday to Wednesday because the title insurance was delayed. We technically don't have a clean title, but an insurable one. The company who is insuring the title will insure ours and if anyone buys it - like we're going to sell it anytime soon. It should sort itself out with a couple of banks talking to each other over a cup of coffee and passing the title on through. :-)
The top floor is almost ALL DONE. The master, 3rd bedroom, kitchen, and living room are completely done. The bathroom we're saving for a complete overhaul and Abby's room is in need of a new wall and paint. When we started her trim work, we realized there was rot in the sill. As we started digging, we found that the whole wall was rotten. Awesome. We called a few contractors because we were definitely getting in over our head. Turns out there's lots of rot and mold. Good news it's only a few hundred bucks to repair and the cause of the problem was most likely the window that has already been replaced. Not the roof like we had feared. We're hoping to get a few more years out of the roof!
Floors are being sanded and polyed this weekend and Abby's room will be finished on Tuesday or Wednesday. In the mean time we'll get started on the down stairs. We're hoping a new boiler and fuel tank will be installed November 11th and the carpet is going down November 12th. So far we're either ahead of schedule or right on target. I think I may have just jinxed myself.
I promise I will post more pictures later, but for those not on facebook. Here's a doozy...
