Homeowner
I'm buying a house.
Well. We're buying a house, which is nice because I can foist most of the phone tag duties off on Ricky on the grounds that he's actually allowed to make personal calls at work. Real estate is cheap as hell in this area, we have a good chunk of money in the bank and between the housing market and that 10% government rebate, there's really never going to be a better time.
We just made an offer on a place. It needs a lot of work, but nothing we can't do ourselves (Rick's dad is a union carpenter, and we both basically grew up in construction zones so we know how to do everything up to and including a total overhaul of the septic system).
I'm swinging wildly between elation and panic.
