the house

It's almost official. We are about to buy our very first house. Condo, really, but in Boston everyone says "house" but means "condo"- unless you are one of those people that live in the suburbs.

We'll be closing on July 31, barring any weirdness. And then the projects begin. Right now there is some single frat boy dude renting the place. It's completely freakin' trashed. The kitchen hasn't been updated in about 30 years. The bathroom needs a hazardous waste sign. The floors need help. Somebody thought baby-puke-green was an awesome color. And god knows how many mice inhabit the place. But, despite all that, we have a vision. It's an expensive vision. It's going to be a lot of work. And we will blog the whole process. Complete with mistakes, bad ideas, and disasters. It should be fun.
