I’m addicted to SketchUp. It’s so much fun to play with, and I plan on actually putting it to some use. Phase one is to model the house’s first floor interior. Each room is a project waiting to happen, and this will make furniture purchase and layout much easier. I think it might help when we choose the color scheme for different rooms as well.

I’ve mentioned it before, but if you haven’t tried SketchUp, get on it. It’s free and incredibly “neat-o.”

In the past week, I have found four half-empty (or half-full if you like) containers of Coca Cola near the end of our driveway, one 20-oz bottle Vanilla and 3 12-oz cans of Classic. Coke is among my favorite beverages, and as such I’m left to wonder why they aren’t finishing them? And then, why are they leaving them neatly standing on my property?

Our inspection went well, so that contingency was removed from our offer. Good to go! During the inspection, I had the chance to take a lot more pictures, so go ahead and appease your curiousity!

Anyone want a free sandbox?

I hope that during our inspection tonight the guy checks for every possible detail. We don’t want company at breakfast!

After an offer, counter-offer, counter-counter-offer, and counter-counter-counter-offer, you’re looking at what will soon be our new home!

After seeing a bunch of uninspiring condos, Amy talked me into looking at a few houses. I could tell by the stats on the listing that this one was impressive, but I didn’t expect to totally love it. Upon seeing it, we both did. Its new roof, windows, furnace and central are all great. Love the 2 car garage. The perfect, private back yard had me totally hooked. All in all, it just seemed like a lot of great space and a really good value.

That said, if you know of anyone looking for a fantastic one bedroom condo near downtown Minneapolis, have them drop me a line!
