I’ve wanted to throw up for the past week because we signed all the papers last Wednesday, but since the seller has already moved to Florida we had to wait for her to sign the papers and I was starting to get nervous. Luckily it came back today!
We still have to go through all of the mortgage stuff, but we've already been pre-qualified and pre-committed, so hopefully there’s no problems with that.
Estimated closing date is March 15th – actually it would be cute if it got moved to the 17th since we got engaged on St. Patty’s Day.
I am so excited not to look at any more houses!! We’ve been looking since July!!
The kitchen and one of the bathrooms were just re-done… the rest of the house… not so much. I see a lot of wallpaper removal in my future.
Here’s some pics:
Kitchen
Bathroom
And the basement that DH has already claimed as his man-cave… after a lottttt of work.

great house, where are you moving too.Trying to get some ideas for the house hunt
It’s in Massapequa!
We looked in so many areas in Nassau (and even a few in Suffolk) and the Massapequa area was the one we liked best for the amount we can afford. My mom is up in Bayville so it’s right near the Seaford Oyster Bay for her, and DH’s family is in West Hempstead so it’s kind of middle ground.

Looks awesome kristen! Dh has his man cave as well... which is being turned into a beer pong room come sunday.... lucky me Now what room do we get for ourselves?!?! LOL
and and seriously, if you have a ton of wallpaper to remove... i'll say a prayer for you... you're going to need it if its OLD wallpaper, it may come off rather easily... but god help you if its fairly new.... I have 1 room that only has a border that was put up sometime in ther last 10 yrs and holy mother of god... it is the most aggravating thing to do in the house
Awesomeeeeee. Yeah, two of the bedrooms and two hallways are wallpapered… luckily it looks like it’s older so hopefully it won’t be horrible! And all that wood paneling in the basement! Ugh! I think for now we’re just going attempt to paint it so it’s not so dark, and then in a year or two rip it all down and sheetrock and stuff. We already have a huge list of things we want to do and it’s not even officially ours yet!

your DH must be soo happy he has a man cave!!! LOL!
CONGRATS!!
Hahah thanks!
Yeah, actually the basement is what sold us… because the living room/dining room isn’t huge, but it’s big enough if we have like 5 or 6 people over… but then when we want to have bigger parties we’ll have PLENTY of room in the basement!
Also one of the other things I’m most excited about it having a Carvel around the block and being so close to All American… I’m going to gain 50 pounds.
