Karen didn’t think it was necessary to fly all the way back up to Iowa just for the closing and since it was a savings of $400 in airfare we decided to have her sign a power of attorney; giving me signing authority on her behalf.
Well, I flew up to the quad cities on Friday morning, did the final walk through and then closed on the house that afternoon. I decided that since we wouldn’t be back for a few weeks that I should change the locks and mow the lawn. So, I went to Home Depot and bought a Honda Mower (they don't make Deere walk behind mowers anymore) and new door locks. That evening I setup the mower, put on the new door locks and went to bed on an air mattress I brought in my suit case.
The next morning I got up, mowed the lawn and went back to Home Depot to get a garden hose to wash off the mower. Once everything was done and put away I took video of the house so that anyone who would like to see it can take a virtual tour of or home here.
Note: I increased the frames by 50% so the video is a little jumpy but it takes less time that way.
Awesome. Congratulations you guys. It looks like a great place!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the video. That was fun; it felt like I was being given a personal tour. It's such a wonderful feeling having all of the t's crossed and the i's dotted and the keys in your hands! I'm so happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the yard. It's so big and easy to maintain. Lilly has her own park now! You guys did good, looks like a nice clean house and a good neighborhood. That was the next best thing to actually being there for a tour.
