We had the inspection and the appraisal last week. I was afraid I'd have buyer's remorse, seeing our house in the winter, on the lake, unfurnished, brown and glum. But not so! I stood on our broken up concrete dock and watched the winter sun set across the lake, I passed the greenhouse/beef pasture a 10 minute walk away; I passed a business that sells rain barrels and composters (I have mine), we had lunch at the town pizza/brew place, and I'm in love. DH actually started a fire in the fire pit, which I told him was illegal and he could get arrested for trespassing, but that kind of thing never concerns him. So he and DS and I sat and watched day turn to night in this summer community, where we were the only inhabitants that night.
I do plan a few renovations: I want to replace the log siding (shiplap half-log siding) with cedar; I want to add window boxes and eventually a deck. I have ideas for decorating the interior with whimsy and an homage to its 1940s birth. I'm really excited.
And the IRS actually sent me a REFUND for $1400 today!! Life is good.
