For better or worst, for richer or poorer, it's a done deal.

While some of our gentle readers will think it somewhat pathetic,
that was the biggest check I've ever written.

But she's completely paid for - no mortgage - all mine now.
No mortgage burning party to look forward to - and couldn't afford
on right now anyway.


All documents were notarized.
Also got bills of sale and documentation papers all the way back to
the first owner (I'm third).

And the original builders certificate.

One step closer to the coast...

In the mean time, we've 98,000 acres of lake water to shake down in.

Way to go!!

It is a big scary writing large checks. My biggest wasn't my boat... a
house, but there's little chance of the house sinking. :-}


I've bought a house before but it was only a few thou down and $800 a
month.
This was a bunch of boat units.

It felt good, though.
Kind of like the first time I gave my Mom a grand for her birthday.
"Grown up"? Does that make sense?


Yep. All growed up.. When I wrote the check with five zeros, I made sure I
got the number of zeros right....

I suppose it is a "big" scary, but I was trying to type "bit" scary.


It was a bit big...

For me, it's not an issue. But for the vast majority of people it is. I was
very lucky.

Houses sink all the time, and it takes less than an inch of settling
to crack lots of plaster. Something that happens to new houses after
its a done deal.

Friends of ours had a new house. It wasn't cracked plaster. Who uses
plaster thse days? It's always wall board. Anyway, it was nail pops.
Whereever the wall board was nailed to the frame the nails kept popping
out. Went on for years.


Ya, that's why God invented ring-shanked nails and drywall screws. My
preference is the drywall screws -- they go in easy and stay put.

Houses do settle, as do people I suppose.
