Phew- What a Relief

Today an electrician came and inspected the condo I was hoping to buy and good news. Everything is fine, this means all systems go YEAH! The sellers are very motivated to sell and actually had an electrician in earlier this week to fix some of the minor issues with GFIs not installed and broken outlets. The agent also relayed information on how the arcing in the fuse box happened. It has nothing to do with bad workmanship originally but rather the homeowners trying DIY and screwing it up. If you don't know anything about electricity don't try to fix things at home!


I meet with the bank this afternoon but it looks like everything is in order. Of course the bank has loads of questions and needs all sorts of documentation since I've been living overseas for 2+ years hopefully there are no major problems there.



This weekend I go furniture shopping if I get the membership information from zipcar. I should have it by tomorrow so fingers crossed.




Onto the details and pictures of my soon to be new place. 2 bedroom 1.75 bath - that's right I have a master bathroom. Washer/dryer in unit, and loads of storage space.

The most important thing - MY VIEW:








Second most important - The Kitchen























Living room with working fireplace and built in shelves
















The second balcony is mine

It is great that there were no major issues with the electrical.

You are correct DIY work should not be done if you have no idea what you are doing. Dave and I almost destroyed our barn trying to replace a switch with the breaker still on. It took touching wires together to convince us that electricity is not very friendly.

Have a nice shopping weekend. Keep us posted.
