Okay, you guys are scaring me – is it really going to be that much work? I can’t hear you – Lalalalalalala

I just had the home inspection yesterday and there are a couple little details that need to be attended to, but nothing that will hold up the sale – whew! I’m closing on the twenty-eighth and, as some of you guessed, I’m extremely freaked about the amount of debt I’m about to assume. I can’t believe how much a house _costs_. But I really, really appreciate all your messages and advice – it’s nice to know I’m not the first person to have leaped off this cliff. 🙂
