Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

Yep, I've gotta say, I'm with FEM on this . Couldn't Joe have taken a few minutes on the porch to fill us in? *sniffles* I think we see, now, that the TX contingent is holding on to that "lone star" attitude. Et tu, Joe??? How quickly we forget... *more sniffles*

Well @sadieml might be kidding but I'm not. This is torture.

Hey ya'll, it would be real tacky of us to steal Joe's thunder. It's his announcement to make, not ours. He almost didn't tell @Devonviolet, swore her to secrecy then blew it and told me and DH. He ought to be home soon, get some sleep and be on here to tell ya'll all about it.

Yeah, it is exciting to wait!

The only thing that really worried me about house number 2 (and I do like it the best) is that there was no pic of the whole outside of the house....just the porch. What's up with that?

Waiting is - ARGH!

Perhaps Joe would like to wait until he finds out if they accepted his offer or made a counter that he can live with.

I don't think you "guys" stink for not telling us but it IS kinda rude to say "na na na I've got a secret and I'm not telling".

 

[Latestarter]

The waiting is OVER (I HOPE! Fingers and toes crossed accepting well wishes and prayers for contract acceptance) I wrote an offer on #2. It is EVERYthing depicted in the pictures and more! more to follow!

 

[Bruce]

I win!!!!

Congrats on finding a place you like Joe. And of course I'm sending good vibes your way. I doubt you would offer something low enough to be insulting. Pretty rare for an initial offer to be accepted so I bet you get your counter in a day or two.

That is the empty house right? So they are likely motivated to sell if a price anything close to reasonable can be agreed on.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Woo hoo! So glad it turned out to be what you were looking for! Can't wait to hear that your offer is accepted and you're packing!

 

[Mini Horses]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

We ALL picked "curtain #2"

Now we need to hear to rest. I'm thinking they are "ready" to sell if they are out. I would think, based on the thought I saw in the photos that it is a lovely place. I'm dying to know about the "cellar" thingy?

 

[sadieml]

So VERY glad to hear, Joe!!! As I recall, the only problem with #2 was the price per sq ft was pretty high. I wasn't crazy about the front entrance, but I expect to be "backdoor friends" anyway--if we ever get to go visit! In SC backdoor friends aren't the ones you try to hide so you bring 'em around back. They're the ones you like so much, you don't need to impress them with the entryway and the formal living room/dining room on either side of the front door. We're backdoor people, who walk right into the kitchen, grab a cup of coffee and sit down to chew the fat. We may not be social butterflies, but we don't hate people, we're just picky about the ones we hang-out with. DH wouldn't be nearly as much of a hermit if he were "healthy".

I hope you get a response (accepting, of course) really soon. This is all so exciting, and I haven't forgotten the offer to deliver goats from NC!!!

ps-Ditto to what Bruce said, I understand keeping a promise and letting Joe have his moment, it was the na na na boo boo, that hurted *small sniffle*...

Congratulations! I'm really excited for you!
