I bought myself my first house!
Well technically I bought on the 20th of this month, a few days ago.

I found myself a nice 1,200 sq foot townhouse in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood.
The house is in physically good shape, though it needed some cosmetic work.

I am basically ending up doing a remodel of the house. New carpet, new tile, new paint, new bathtub, new toilets, ran some network cable myself, new lights in the kitchen, new doorknobs, hmm, and I'm sure other stuff I'm forgetting!
I've basically been running around like crazy for the couple weeks before the house closed, and the several days since, just trying to get everything prepared, lined up, purchased, scheduled, cleaned, and generally set to go. Now I'm mostly trying to keep my contractors on schedule and on task so it can all be done to move in by the 4th!

I will have pictures to post in my journal after the house is done. The "Before" pictures of the inside aren't much to show, but I will if anyone cares to see!
