I got the house

[jwcfbd]

  After some back and forth nonsense we finally agreed on a price.  They came down another $2000 off their asking price so I got a good price.  The inspector came over today and we spent about 2 hours going over it top to bottom.  There was nothing major wrong but a lot of little net picky odds and ends.  The biggest expense is going to be the carpet throughout the house has to go but other then that it needs some drywall work and a good cleaning.  There is also some wood rot here and there but nothing I can't fix myself.  Time to break out the hammer, saw and  

.  One a good note they fixed the pool already and it looks very inviting.  It's going to be some hard work but I'm looking forward to it.  I think it is going to be fun and a good learing experience.  

I don't have the before pictures yet but I will be getting them soon.  Here is what The Pool looks like now.  

****I got the pictures of the pond****

Congrats, really nice house. Once you have a 3 car garage, its tough to go back to a two car.

Thanks and I've got big plans for the yard and house to bring it back up to speed.
The house is 173,000 and the closing cost should be $1800 but I'm buying down the intrest rate for $4000 more.  That will put me down to 6.125% with no mortgage insurance with only 5% down.  

  So total out of pocket is $14,000 give or take.

Thanks My last house had an oversized two car garage and that was making it really hard to look at normal sized ones. So I know your rigth about the three car.
