Today's something of a landmark day for us, as we get the keys to our new home. If everything goes down according to plan we'll be meeting up with our lawyer around 4 today, then later on going to meet our realtor by the house to tour and make sure everything is in place. There's a bit of concern on our part due to all the weather that's been going on lately as part of multi-storm-Sandy... mostly we're just hoping that the drainage around the house is keeping the water away and drained nicely.
Also, I found something new today: HVAC people apparently don't do roof ventilation! When we bought the place, the bathrooms on the upper floor were vented into the attic (which in turn has an opening to the great out of doors via the chimney which needs to be capped). This isn't what should be happening here, and shame on the flipper we bought this from for not doing this correctly. It's kind of similar to a few other things in the house that we've seen where it's just, well, sloppy. Thankfully the place is still good value even with the work we'll have to put into it to make it what it needs to be so it's not the end of the world.
I'm really looking forward to setting up the garden in the backyard :) That and giving my artichoke plant a more permanent home. All in due time...
