It's Mine!

Well, almost. The seller and I have agreed on terms and signed a contract. Of course, there's a lot of other paperwork and such to work out, but I expect I'll be moving in around the first of September.

I couldn't be more tickled. The price is very, very right (aka CHEAP!). The location is perfect. (Commute length stays the same. Church congregation stays the same.) And look at the view from my cute little private patio:



Oh, and a fireplace too! Not that it gets all that cold here, but I've never had a fireplace, so that's kinda novel. It's wood burning, so I doubt I'll be lighting it much. You never know.


I'm thinking about hanging a flat panel TV over the fireplace - I suppose there's a brick flue there, though. Wonder if that's possible? It'd be a nice space saver if it is. I'll probably be re-doing the kitchen cabinets and counters, too, just because I can. And I'm sure I'll paint a brightly colored wall (or several) as is my habit.

Just don't let the small size of the place turn you off visiting me! I've got an air mattress. (I'll sleep on it and let you have the bed, of course.) And besides, there's not all that much to visit in Charlotte, except me. Once you get here, we'll hit the road for something much more interesting. Like Charleston.
