problem: bugs found on kitchen floor

theory: got in through small hole in weather stripping on the corner of the back door (in kitchen). small group of bugs outside hanging around this hole supports theory.

experiment: fill hole, observe number of dead bugs found on kitchen floor

expected result: less dead bugs

Last weekend, my parents came up to help me move. The movers came on Saturday to move all the furniture, and we moved the rest of the stuff in two car trips. Now I'm all moved out of my apartment, and it's nice and clean. My lease is up the end of this month ( Read more... )

I'm taking a car load of stuff from my apartment to my house every day. I've cleaned out my bathroom and bedroom closet. Right now I'm sleeping on an air mattress. After I move all my little things, I'm going to hire movers to take care of the furniture.

One thing I've learned is that nobody's "move my service" web forms work right.

I signed the gigantic stack of paperwork, and I met the sellers outside of the title company. They handed me the keys before they went in to sign, so it'll soon be mine!

Title company has my down payment, and closing is tomorrow at 9:30am.

hooray!

So much to do

Inspection was last Friday, and he only found some little things. I asked for some of the stuff to be fixed by the seller.

I told my apartment complex I wouldn't be extending my lease, which ends May 31. I've started the process of cleaning up and throwing away so I have less things to move, and less cleaning to do later.

I made an offer on a house. I expect to hear back if they're interested by Wednesday, and I asked for closing (if everything goes smoothly) to be on 4/16. It's a nice house, and it's near my apartment.

A quick update: I'm looking at buying a house in the Austin area. I've seen two good houses so far, and now I need to get my mortgage ducks in a row.

I'm also looking forward to Infected Mushroom playing at Sky Lounge on Thursday.
