Finally

We closed on our new home this afternoon, finally. The realtor actually said that ours was actually one of the easier ones. It only took 5 weeks. If I was the one handling things from our end, I would've thrown in the towel 2 weeks ago. The Boss is an angel, or at least more interested in the new place than I am.

So now, for a while anyway, we have 2 homes. The larger one is paid for, and the smaller one with a mortgage. Eventually, probably in the spring and after another garage sale, we'll be moving into the smaller house.

After the larger place sells, we'll have a tax issue. How to avoid a spike in income due to the extra money.

Tomorrow instead of playing paintball, I'll be helping the eldest erect some privacy fence. Then Sunday to the new place. There are some things that home owners insurance insists we do, and then do some preparation work for some things that we want to do before moving.
