Good news and bad news


Well let's begin with the good news shall we? Well, to start, we did the inspection for the house we're buying yesterday and everything looks great. Lots of minor fixes, LOTS of cleaning to do, LOTS and LOTS of bugs....But once we get in there and paint and possibly replace flooring it'll be a great house for our family to grow in. And the smoke detectors work great. haha Although we didn't test them on purpose.....The part we were really worried about was the bee inspection. We knew that there was a beehive in the wall of the back of the house somewhere but we didn't know exactly where it was or how big it was and were thinking we would have to put a huge hole in the back of the house(or in the master bathroom) to take out this hive. Well the good news is that they aren't really in the walls so we won't have to put a big hole in the house. The bad news is that the bees(and a large hive) are under the bath tub so we will have to rip that out. It will probably end up being more expensive than putting a hole in the wall but will be easier to repair and the repair won't be noticeable. All in all we are one step closer to being home owners. Good stuff.

pshaw. Bathtubs are easy fixes. I'd send Troy to help, but, well, you know, we live way over here now.
