Sokolov? Sokolov who?

Yesterday I took a sample of the popcorn ceilings to deterrmine if there was any asbestos present in the home-to-be.
I just got the results five minutes ago, and they were negative! Huzzah!
Now I just have to call the home inspector…

Hooooooooooooooooo boy…

So the seller countered this morning. Closer to my number than his. AND he’s throwing in five window units…
I believe Valerie and I are going to accept that, and wait for the home inspection to see what happens!

I know all there is to know about the waiting game.

Valerie and I put an offer on the house today…We low-balled the guy, and now it’s time to see how serious he is about selling.
We should know by 5pm tomorrow…

Holy canned green beans, Batman!

George Mason University is in the effin’ Final Four of the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament.
Now, I didn’t go to GMU, but they’re in the same low-end, barely exciting Division I conference as my alma mater, VCU.  This conference, the CAA, rarely sees a team make it past the first round of the tournament, let alone [...]

Vox Populi

I just saw the film, “V for Vandetta” last night, having read the complete collection of comics on my flight to Rome last year.  I certainly enjoyed the film - nearly as much as I enjoyed the print.
A phrase in the story came immediately to my mind as I read a story on CNN this [...]

For the low, low price…

Valerie and I looked at the righteous house on Seminary Avenue yesterday afternoon with our friend William. It was enlightening and encouraging at the same time - saw a few more things that need to be done, should we purchase it, and learned what we don’t really need to worry about.
I think we’re going [...]

You can check out any time you want.

Here’s something for the ol’ reading:
New WPO Poll
And then there’s this one:
US Troops in Iraq
I can’t really add much to that other than to say it’s time we were outta there.

Exhaustified ride, step aside my…

A 12 hour drive from Tallahassee to Richmond. Ugh. It was nice to see Val’s sister perform at FSU, but I never expected to be this wiped out upon my return. I’ll try to get my pictures up on at least Flickr by this evening - there aren’t many, but man does [...]

Out with the old…

So I haven’t posted any new pictures of the houses I looked at because I couldn’t take any pictures.
See, my digicam busted in the most annoying way possible…The shutter button doesn’t work anymore. I can do everything with my camera except take a picture.
I can’t be too upset, however, because my mom won the [...]

Round Two!

Alrighty, tonight Valerie and I go out to deal with the second set of homes. I’ll be taking plenty of pictures again, and I’m still trying to figure out the whole Oberkampf thing that Patrick recommended.
So maybe by the time I buy a house I’ll actually have the pictures up…
