Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
The Château is still waiting for water and sewer connections but it is safe to say that once the permit ink is dry, the subcontractor will break ground. You’d think I’d be worried about the frost or the threat of snow but I am most concerned with moving Zach and our belongings over to the […]
Maison Enginerd has officially sold and we are renting it for a few weeks until we can close and move to the Château. It is a race to the wire as we get ready to pack, pay the down-payment and transport everything to our new homestead. It is hard to imagine that things won’t work […]
We are down to the wire folks! By Nov 30th the occupancy extension or rent back contract expires. By then our loan rate lock would have expired and cannot be extended. The last day to hold the Samsung smart fridge is near as well. Lots of tasks are going to be completed this month, as […]
Our moving on up story took a turn for the worst recently when the water and sewer district postponed the work to hook up our utility connection. We don’t have a due date from the county and with a closing date of November 15th on our current property, this delay puts us close to the […]
Turns out that the inspection showed that the roof of Maison Enginerd needs to be replaced due to defective material. The shingles, made by CertainTeed, have visible granule loss and deterioration not common to ten year old roofs. So, what gives? A check of the internet confirmed our worst suspicions: the material was manufactured incorrectly […]
Yesterday, September 28th at the 11th hour, we got word from our realtor that our current house was under contract! Yay! The buyers accepted our counter offer and come November 15th they will take over Maison Enginerd. Woop woop! In 10 days or less the house will pass inspection and after that we get to […]
In the middle of the move, packing and painting the old house, I managed to slip and fall down our stairs. My behind slammed down on two steps after a second of airtime which is about 175+ lbs of force right into my glutes. Needless to day I am literally going to be butthurt throughout […]
We thought that the new house would be ready by September 19th, moved from the original September 9th date and boy were we wrong! Our local utility district is taking its sweet time to come and hook up the water and power. At least we get our very own transformer! (Must be the AC load […]
Even though our house has been on the market for 60 days and has had a lot of interest – 30 viewings and counting – it hasn’t gotten a single offer. The main reason is that many people can’t visualize themselves in an owner occupied home so you must provide enough of a canvas for […]
About 6 weeks ago, if not a bit more, I posted that we were moving to a brand new house. Even though time has gone by the construction work has crawled which is understandable since structural inspections and corrections are no easy task. Based on what my realtor has dug up there have been no […]
