The appraisal on the house was done on Tuesday morning before the big snowstorm hit. Hopefully by Friday we will have the appraisal, the list of things they will want done, and an estimate of what it will cost. Then we can crunch the numbers and see if we can even swing it, but I don’t imagine it is going to be that bad. There’s a lot of cosmetic things, like a broken window in the basement that is boarded up along with some things in the basement that were done by the previous homeowners that aren’t up to code, but they work. The most expensive fix is going to be putting a new roof on the house and while that is a major fix, it’s a common one and might not even be as big of a deal as we think since it could still be the original roof, a new one could be laid right on top of it.
In the new house Kris and I will have our own separate offices. Mine will be in the basement and will double as a man cave. She already has her office all planned out, color scheme, desk she wants to build, everything. I can’t even figure out what I want to do with mine. I am thinking of sound proofing it as much as possible so I can blast music, scream, record videos, etc without bothering her or anyone else who happens to be over. Other than sound dampening the room I am stuck. Maybe when I am absolutely sure we have the house, then I would be able to focus and figure all that stuff out, but I am not sure.
I dream of the day we move — or the kids leave the house — and I can have a dedicated office. Don’t get me wrong, the corner of the bedroom works out well enough, but I’d love to have a girl cave. 😉
Hope you manage to get it all sorted. The ‘man cave’ sounds amazing, it’s great that you’ll get to have your own space. Good luck!

You’re making me want to move very badly. I would love to have my own space. Being an adult and living with your parents is tedious. I’m not about this life.
Well, I’m very excited for this!! I think I sound a lot like Kris and my boyfriend sounds a lot like you!
It’s like she’s super excited and ready to go, but you’re a lot more rational and one-step-at-a-time.
Steve and I are exactly like that lol. Must be that type of pairing that makes a good team?? Anyway, hopefully everything runs smoothly and leaves you with some extra money to fix up and do everything just the way you want it!!
I’m just very excited for you guys :3
Well this is a promising development. Figuring out the interior design can be a bit daunting, but fun at the same time! This is pretty exciting. Looking forward to hear how the rest pans out.
