Life as homeowners

We closed yesterday in Charlotte. (On a side note, if I had to make that drive every day I would kill myself).

The attorney's office started late, the agent forgot/didn't bring the earnest deposit and Brad accidentally walked out with our signed packet. That meant we got on I-77 at Harris Boulevard and immediately got stuck in traffic, then had to crawl to exit 23 just to turn around and return the packet.

The idea of painting yesterday was completely shot.

I made it to the home improvement store at 8 p.m. to buy all the paints. The power and water was supposed to be turned on yesterday, but it appears only the power has. I called my dad just to be sure the water wasn't a pipe issue, since I'm a rookie in all this.

Be on the lookout! I plan to take 360-degree "before" photos of the entire house before we paint and flooring goes down.
