Back and Forth

There's no telling just how many trips we made to look at the house, both of us milling over every inch, every room. Silently weighing in the project, and what a project it was! I was hesitant, but Jay was confident. After all, he was a professional carpenter for years, this was nothing new to him. He assured me, this was nothing he couldn't handle, and to my untrained eye it seemed like more work than it really was.

After a few more calls to the realtor, a number of voice mails (none of which were returned), Jeremy made a final attempt at contacting her. He left a message. "We've been trying to contact you, we would like to buy this house, so if you could bother yourself to return my calls, I'd appreciate it."

Within a couple of hours, we finally received a call from the realtor, and everything was set into motion. We went in extremely low with our offer, and were shocked to find they had accepted it, and even agreed to pay closing! We were ecstatic. This was really happening!

We've since signed the contract, and got the go-ahead to begin working on our project.
