The Weight of Money

We’ve finally made it to the home inspection and I’m nervous, anxious, excited. This could be a great day if we learn that everything look good enough to survive another 137 years, or devastating if we learn that there are some problems too major for us to fix later on. I’ve moved from refusing to be excited to confidence that this is ‘the house’. Of course, it isn’t ‘The House’ in the sense that it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, but instead it is the house that we can live in for the next 10 years at least. The neighbor factor is what impacts the longevity – perhaps they’ll be selling their property in the next ten years, we’ll have conquered our finances, and be able to buy them all out, level their houses, and expand our borders — basically reverse the process that allocated all those lots anyways (chopped up farm land).

I needed to get a lot of stuff done before the inspection, but pins and needles have prevent any rational work. Instead, I’m just watching the clock tick and looking forward to getting more pictures, measurements, and anything else we can think of. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow.
