Signing the Mortgage

Welp we did it, Last Wednesday Lorne and I went in to the Banking institution and signed the mortgage papers. It was pretty straight forward and Lorne got an excellent loan so that even if, God forbid, he were to lose his Job at the Radio station we could still afford to pay for it. We Are so fortunate and blessed to have found this house when we did, and I'm looking forward to starting the process of making it our own! Come Wednesday the 17th we will have the Keys in our hands and be the proud owners of our very own House!! For my Birthday Lorne Put money down on the Turn of the Century Ar moire that I want to use as a Hall closet in our entry way!, It's so beautiful and I'm going to try and go get some pictures of it so that I can post them . I also got two sizes of Sledge hammers so we can start tearing down things when we get the house. Will be pretty busy with the Camera for the next little bit to say the least!! I'm already learning what it's going to be like to work with contractors so this is going to be fun. Met with my first one this past Monday and should have a written Quote on it by this Friday. More to come later on with more pictures to share!!!!

Also when Lorne took me to the shop whereI got the Armoire the gentleman who owns the shop clued us in that the house where we bought it the neighoborhood was developed around 1917 or so which means our house is pushing 100! How people ccouldn't take care of such a lovely old turn of the century homw is beyond me. I'm also looking in to if it wsa a kit home, which were all the rage back in those days as so many of the houses reflect the style of the kit homes of the early 1900's. This research process has been a bit fun :) Now comes the fun part of mixing old with new to make it truely ours while preserving as much of the original integrity of the home.
