The deed is done...

Greetings, fellow conspirators!


Just a brief check-in this morning, reporting from the friendly confines of Madisonville, TX, more specifically, from K1 (and fiance of K1) and K2's house.


The deed is done; we closed on the house in Onalaska, TX (on the beautiful shores of Lake Livingston) yesterday. I had forgotten how many different papers one has to sign to buy a house, which makes me even more in favor of the "suitcase of cash" method of real estate purpose that some European countries have.


I was proud of myself for stumping the title people with a question. We were presented with two different monthly mortgage payment amounts on two different papers. "What's the story?" says I. "Ah," says the title lady. "One of these is an estimate."


Moving day starts today, and since we have our current house rented until the end of the month, continues on for a while yet. Today is just doing a bit of cleaning, and hopefully a bit of fishing off the dock.


More to come...
