Ellie and Tim Build a Home: May 2010

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 22, 2010. Home vs. House. Owning a Home is great! Owning a House can really suck sometimes. The challenge these days is to spend enough quality Home time that all the House time and money feels worth it. Both Ellie and I get close to being overwhelmed when we forget this. Wednesday, May 5, 2010. There are also some quiet, beautiful moments about having the house, hereafter known as the Hathaway House. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Turning on the Gas (Putting the "As-Is" in the As-Is Clause, Part 1).

Ellie and Tim Build a Home: Space

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010/06/space.html

Thursday, June 10, 2010. After years of rubbing elbows in apartments, the amount of space we have now seems grossly unnecessary. Looking for apartments, we saw two- and three-flats that had 5, 6, 7—one even with 10 bedrooms—and we daydreamed about how each room could house a different passion. Music room. Meditation room. Sewing room. Legos (? Room We have so many hobbies, we could easily find reasons to fill each room. When I first saw Hathaway House, I had a minor panic attack. Too small! My dad hauled...

Ellie and Tim Build a Home: Closing Day

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010/04/closing-day.html

Friday, April 23, 2010. I can't believe this day has finally arrived. We met Annie and Esmerlda, the seller's realtor, at the house at 10:15 for the walk-thru. We had the car packed with a few things we were going to leave at the house in the afternoon: plants, a lamp with a timer to set in the living room, and cleaning supplies. Not in this neighborhood! I cried for a little while. It was so overwhelming. I thought, " This. Is what I'm staking my future on? So it appeared that we were buying a condo ins...

Ellie and Tim Build a Home: A Walk Thru

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010/04/walk-thru.html

Saturday, April 24, 2010. I took an 8-minute walk-thru video of the property. Since it's too large to upload on the site, here's a link to it on YouTube:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? April 26, 2010 at 7:30 PM. I was watching your video and Ian was sitting next to me watching. When you showed the light in your dining room, he said oh pretty light. Then when you were showing the front and the ground he said there should be flowers there. April 26, 2010 at 7:42 PM. He sounds like a man of good taste.

Ellie and Tim Build a Home: Prepping

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010/05/prepping.html

Sunday, May 2, 2010. We've spent the last week prepping the house for work that needs to be done, and the move. Most of the plants are over there, and I am slowly moving the kitchen in. I started painting this weekend, with the help of a good friend. The library is now Deep Blue Sea:. Which looks much more deeply, lusciously navy on the walls) The trim is going to be Silver Leaf (like most of the house). The office has an Autumn Fest ceiling:. And Red Pepper walls:. The bedroom will be Plum. The living r...

Ellie and Tim Build a Home: Turning on the Gas (Putting the "As-Is" in the As-Is Clause, Part 1)

http://ellieandtimbuildahome.blogspot.com/2010/05/turning-on-gas-putting-as-is-in-as-is.html

Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Turning on the Gas (Putting the "As-Is" in the As-Is Clause, Part 1). As a renter, I never knew what entailed the gas turn-on. I would just call to have it set up, and when I moved in, I started cooking. Bob set up the pipe so we could install the gas dryer Tim was getting on Craigslist, and got ready to wrap things up. "Is it normal after you turn on the gas, and we've been testing it, to smell gas like this? God only knows. Under the stairwell, there was a valve that was in "s...

Friday, April 23, 2010. I can't believe this day has finally arrived. Not in this neighborhood! I managed to wait until she went into another room before bursting into tears.
