As in
Whoa! But I'm sure the woes will come soon enough.
Well,
that certainly was stressful. We knew buying a house could be a wild ride, but we
weren’t expecting a roller coaster without seat belts.
Our
short sale, with an FHA 203K construction loan added on just for fun, had to close 45 days after our offer was accepted. After the 45 days, if
the loan wasn’t funded, it would at that point turn into a foreclosure
rather than a short sale. The deadline? Monday at 2:30. The time the loan
funded? Monday at 1:00. Our stomachs have just stopped churning.
So
now the fun starts - a little remodel. Just “piddly stuff” as our
contractor says. I’m glad he thinks so. Here are some before pictures.

| Here it is! Just kidding, that's the little pool house. |
 |
| The Back Forty |
 |
| The Redwood Grove |
 |
| The front, soon to have a new roof and exterior color |
 |
| Self explanatory |
 |
| Scary piddly stuff |
 |
| The soon-to-be not a doggy door |
 |
| The good part of the kitchen |
 |
| The 80's side of the kitchen. It's having an identity crisis. |
 |
| If there isn't a bright pink wall, it's just not nearly as much fun. |
