Updates...

So the house inspection went well...I got to scour the house, all the nooks and crannies, and I absolutely love it!! Benji said we're great with financing (financial peace paid off-yay!), termite inspection on Thursday, insurance taken care of, the sellers are taking care of all loan fees and if all goes well we'll move in on Feb 20th. It all seems to be falling into place. I'm almost ready to ask "what's the catch?", because you know there always is, but I'm afraid to ask. Unless I just did...
It seems so surreal that we're getting our dream house! There are a few things that need to be put in (lights, sink). Apparently, when someone forecloses on a house, they take the light fitures and copper piping to the sink. Who knew? Oh, and no dishwasher. Hmmmm...
So here's a bigger picture of the house.

The studio is getting done slowly but surely. There's a drywall party goin on tonight if anyones interested! Actually there's one every night this week and until the drywall is DONE! Don't be shy---we need your help! Even if you don't know what drywall is! It's a great workout, and you'll sleep like a baby tonight (unless you fall off the ladder 12 ft up. We won't make you work on caulking......It's messy business, but I'm so excited to see this dream of Jeremy's come about. Stirring worship teams can practice here, art and creative juices will flow out of the Soundhouse. I can't wait! I had a good day off from the studio work yesterday(not so much a day off, more like I couldn't move my arms) , but I'm ready to get my muscles goin again. Hope to see you there!
So here is what our next month looks like...work work work and pack, move Stirring storage this Friday, work and pack, move into house on 20th, work and pack, move stirring office on 28th, work and pack, move Jeremy's studio March 1st, work work work and create, Erase the Dark March 6th. Yeehaw!

Your house is awesome - it looks like our dream house too - at least on the outside ;) It must be on the eastside of Redding - so cute!

Juliette said...

Ooops - I meant westside - I'm directionally challenged :)

Congrats on all the fun stuff going on. I can't do much lifting, but if there is any way I can help, please let me know. Like I mentioned at the church office, my days are fairly open and very boring. ~Nicole

I would love to come help but with three kids I think I would cause more problems than anything. :)

Bobby and I have some experience in drywall. (my parents did a lot of renovation while I was growing up and Bobby took a construction course a few years back) We are going on a date tonight and then tomorrow we have life group. But what about Friday night? I'm sure you guys will be working. What time should we be there?
