New house update
We had the inspection on Friday. Overall, it went well. We need a new roof but we expected that. We were really happy to hear that the house is structurally sound. Actually, the inspector said that it was a very well built house. The main thing is the roof and we need to fix some concrete outside. The house does need work but we consider it move in ready since it's just that things are ugly. We should be in contract this next week and hopefully close on March 15th!! Here are som pics from FridayOutside- it's an attached Tudor- don't mind all the crap she has in the front
Some of the front porch- it's pretty big for Queens- we hope to put a cute swing and bistro set outside
More porch- you can see some of the concrete that needs to be fixed
Kitchen cabinets- I don't love them but they'll do for now. We hope to fix the kitchen up next year
Cute built in separating the kitchen from the dining room

FUGLY bathroom- it's tangerine and black- I HATE the colors and the horrible sponge job. We also hope to redo it next year. In the meantime, we'll paint over the sponging and make it solid white.
Unfinished basement. This is the 1st order of business- finishing the basement. We plan to put a 2nd bathroom in the back corner where the pole is and close off the oil tank
Backyard- John is happy that he doesn't happy that he doesn't have to mow anymore.

Re: New house update
Thanks everyone! We're now getting estimates from roofers to see how much it will cost for the roof.

That's awesome, Hollie!!!!!!!
I'm so glad the inspection went well and I love all the pics!!!!
Don't worry, once you get rid of the seller's stuff and move in and start making changes it will be 'home' in no time!!!
