Moving forward..

We're slowly moving forward on the house. We went and viewed the inside yesterday, the inside is absolutely gorgeous! There are of course a few issues, it's missing a bathroom door, and they need to install a new closet door (the new one is sitting in the garage so no expense there) because the one that's hanging now has a hole in it. But outside door frame on the back door is really torn up.. the wood they used just wasn't the right one or it wasn't flat or something.. anyway it definitely needs to be fixed. And there's one shingle on the front that is bent up and broken on one side, so there's another small fix (i think)... So far we need to pick out an inspector and i suppose we'll see if there's anything else wrong with it.
Besides that, we're saving as much as possible and our families have offered to help with different things. My mom has offered to buy us a new fridge, my husband's dad also offered to help (probably with the lawn mower) and DH's grandma is going to contribute $500 for a washer/dryer... which we actually will be getting a slightly used set for $300 from a lady who is moving into an assisted living home. So it looks like we'll be all set for our appliances... My mom has also offered to help with some closing costs so that we can go ahead and get into this house sooner. At first I was really leary of doing this, but she told me that out of my two brothers and me, she has helped me the least, and she wants to do this, so I'm not gonna deny her this (especially since I know it's true!!!)
