GOT IT GOT IT OOOOH YEAH
We got the fucker for EVEN LESS than what we expected. Talk about crazy circumstances. See, as I said the previous homeowner was karted to a nursing home, and then not long after his daughter's house burned down, causing her to have to live in the house until next february. After that the insurance company wants her to have someone in the house or they won't cover an empty place. Another couple made a bigger offer, BUT the couple couldn't move in until June 1rst. Since she didn't want to deal with the risk and probably wanted to sell fast, she accepted our low offer, but only if we can move in by march 1rst. I saved like 9000$ by moving a month early than I intended to. I'll find the damned money. The real estate agent already told me I had more than I needed already.
So that's how apparently the planets aligned for us to have a cheap house with a wood stove and possibly city chickens.
I hope. Now that my nerves are no longer on the OMG WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BEFORE WE SIGN EVERYTHING, it's latched to believing that something will be terribly wrong, like the Krakken living downstairs, or a 25 pounds marmot who unfortunately has a lease now, and maybe the ghost of the '70s...
Scratch that. The ghost of the '70s would be awesome.
Anyway. That's that. Only one more winter here, hoping Emile's lungs can handle it. He was fine all summer but the moment the chill caught on, he starting coughing like he's got yogurt in his airways. I don't get it. We just cleaned the carpets, they were nasty all summer but he breathed just fine. As long as it's not the cats :(
