House Info

Okay, so since many people are wondering about the house and what it looks like, I'm going to attempt to give some info about it. We haven't had a chance to go and take some pictures so here's the picture they used on the listing. It's not very good but it gives you an idea I guess. (It's in Eagle Mountain for those of you who didn't know that already!)



Here's some of the features of the house: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, Trex deck, 2650 sq feet, on a cul-de-sac, unfinished basement (room for 2 more bedrooms, a family room, and bathroom), .23 acres, RV parking on the side of the garage (we don't know anyone with an RV so we're going to turn that into a basketball court or one day make it into a third car garage), full landscaping (although it needs help....there's no bushes or trees), LARGE master bathroom with jetted tub, and an alarm system. They had started putting a fence in, so that's about halfway done and the neighbors are ready to go in on finishing the rest of it, so that will be nice! They are giving us a $3000 carpet allowance so we've got to start carpet shopping and deciding on what we want...everything besides the carpet is tile, so that's nice! Basically we're thrilled to be getting a house that's about 2 years old that already has almost everything!! We're happy to not have to purchase blinds, appliances, etc....the only thing we'll HAVE to purchase to live there is the washer and dryer. We're also excited that the neighborhood has a pool and hot tub! That will be nice!! Every neighborhood in Eagle Mountain has a few parks/play grounds so that will be wonderful too!! Oh, and did I mention that we can throw a rock from the backyard onto the golf course?!?! (The yard almost backs right up to it.) Brian's THRILLED to be able to be so close to the golf course and has been joking around that he wants a Cadillac Escalade golf cart! Yeah right!

Our closing date is set for September 25th and after getting the new carpet in and possibly painting, we're aiming to move in around the 2nd or 3rd of October. It's still not set in stone since Brian will be working in Orlando, Florida, the last week of September...and there's NO WAY I'm moving without him!!


In other news....we are still fighting with the builder of our townhouse to get our money back. Right now, without having talked to the lawyer again, we have one possible way to get the money back....if we don't qualify for a loan. So once we've purchased the house there's no way we'll be able to qualify for another loan for the townhouse....that forces them to refund us all our money. So basically it's still possible we'll get our money back, but either way, we're purchasing the house. The worst scenario would be that we just walk away from it and lose our money but we're hoping that doesn't happen...I'm not sure when we'll know anything for sure about it....it's just been a nightmare!! We've come to the conclusion that we weren't meant to live there and deal with the dumb builder and their issues....we'll be SO better off in this house! We can't wait to call it home!!
