Our new house

We had the inspection on our new house and a few minor issues came up. There are other issues we already knew about - knob and tube wiring, old plumbing, etc. We are getting some estimates to fix the problems but we don’t think it will stop the sale of the house or anything.

The house is located in an area called Loyal Heights, which is just north of Ballard in North Seattle. It is just a couple blocks away from Colin’s preschool and elementary school. It has 3 bedrooms/2 baths, with a partial basement and great yard. Here are some pictures:

This is looking down the street facing south. Our house is down across from the white car.

The living room from the front door - notice the mirror over the fireplace, just like in our A2 house.

Colin’s room/office off the kitchen. We are hoping that Colin and Holden might want to share a room in a little while, then we can have an office.

Backyard and garage - I didn’t get to take any more pictures because the boys were falling apart at this point in the inspection (see next photo after the backyard)

They were both so tired by the end that they both fell asleep - Colin right on the floor

We are very excited to move in - probably in mid/end of October.

    If the kids fell asleep on the rug. then it must be home. I LOVE your new place, and I hope all the kinks work out because it is totally cute and actually reminds me a lot of your Ann Arbor house.

    We will be there by the time you get here T. Chuck already has the countdown on the calendar he is so ready to be out of our rental and into the new place. Mostly so he doesn’t have to ride the stinky BO bus the 358 which goes straight down Aurora.
