We put in an offer on a house!

Yesterday was a great day spent at BtG's and putting in an offer on the house on Roscommon.

Here is a link for the folks who want to take a gander.

We opted for the house will all the bedrooms on the 2nd floor,..along with the 2nd floor LAUNDRY! If we get this house,..we'll stay in temp quarters for an extra week so that we can get it painted. It's all pretty DARK,..which is not me at all. I am more of soft blues and greens than all the browns that are currently in the house. Besty and I spoke about hitting amish country for a few quilts or something to hang on the family room walls to help absorb some of the squeals from the kids.

We totally low balled them. The want something insane like $120 a sq ft,..and the sq footage on the listing is not the same as the sq ftg on the tax rolls,..so we did our math on the tax sq ftg and we came to an offer of 285K, which is about 107 a sq foot even if you use the wrong sq footage,....anyway,...we found out that they are moving to Michigan,..and are closing on a house this week,..so who wants 2 mortgages? so,..we hope they wise up and take our offer.
