"Closed" Encounters of the 3rd Kind

It definitely was a "Closed" Encounter of the 3rd Kind.  Yesterday morning, many of the characters involved in the 4 month long saga gathered around a conference table to hear the words, "It's a wrap!"  Instead, after many explanations, signatures and sharing of funds, the red button took center stage declaring, "THAT WAS EASY!"  .........the understatement of the year.


All humor aside, Jeff and Lacie finally closed on their new digs.  It's been a long haul filled with ups and downs, a myriad of emotions and 14 weeks of living out of totes, suitcases and vehicles. We all learned about land use laws, insurance regulations, banking procedures, Medicaid ramifications, real estate rigamarole and the importance of surrounding yourself with competent professionals.  Thankfully, we had the latter in hand.


Now, what would normally be the tough part becomes the fun (easy) part.... renovating an early 60's home into the chic and classy home of a couple of 30 somethings and their nearly teenaged "Julz."  Thankfully, they have been residing with the consummate planner and have had the time to make lists, plan strategies and create some pretty cool projects for all things at the 4628!  Holiday time is upon us and a bit of urgency to get in will move the entire crew to sheet"rock and roll!"  That began minutes after the deal was sealed.


Updates to follow with some pretty cool transformations. Stay tuned!
