Well, the offer has been made, inspections done, mortgage applications signed, and now I just wait for everyone else (mostly, the mortgage company) to do their things. Closing is supposed to happen at the end of this month so, until then, I am beginning to pack and shop.
The packing is just that - packing. Nothing difficult there. I'll begin by gathering the tools and such that are stored in my apartment's garage space (which I used as a work shop) then move to packing up the items in my apartment (which includes my Coffee Valley RR layout things/supplies/etc).
Before moving in I will have about 3 months to do some remodeling. The upstairs bedrooms will be painted and some light fixtures will be changed but the biggest task will be retiling the master bath. After that is done the carpet guys will come in and do their thing.
This is all very exciting and I am looking forward to it but the downside is there will be no time for working on my railroad for the summer. The upshot is that I already have a room for my trains and I have to do is move in. Well, that's not completely true...I'll probably rearrange/add lights in the drop ceiling before setting up but that is not a big deal.
This also means that I won't have time to write any more blog tutorials as I have wanted to but stick with me as this is a temporary situation and hopefully by late Fall I will be back up and running. So please do not forget about me - check back from time to time. As fodder, I will post updates on things going on between now and then. Thanks.
