Sold!!
The house is sold. It doesn't belong to me anymore. The new owners are moving in as I type this. They hugged us at the closing. I am glad the house is in their hands.
Adrian and I did a final walkaround and I kissed him and thanked him for coming on this 4-year adventure with me. I would have put the moves on him, but we were running late. And as it turns out, the new owners and their agent did a walkthrough before closing, so they would have caught us anyway.
The patch job on the hole in the wall by the front door looks amazing. We did make it to the movie last night, then out for dinner afterwards, and when we got to the house around 11:30 and Adrian started sanding, it turned out the spackling wasn't quite dry. Uh oh. He covered it with a little more, we cleared the last of the trash out of the house, then headed back to the hotel and hoped for the best. As I went into work today to clear up last-minute paperwork Adrian went to the house to clear up the last-minute patchwork. When I got there a few hours later I couldn't even tell where the hole was. The patch was great and the paint matched very well, I had to look HARD to even find it. So, really, there was no need to bother the new owners with that, was there?
Good thing they didn't come in while he was painting.
The rest of the afternoon was errands, the most important of which was depositing the check for the house. We are now a little richer than we were before. Richer for the experience, that is. Oh, and for the money, too.
Going away dinner tonight, wedding tomorrow (not ours!) depart Sunday. Here we come, DC!!
