Inspections on Fog Plain

-
A few weeks ago we had the inspections done on the house we are selling. Now, we only bought the house 3 years ago, and everything that was found, the previous owner fixed. So we really thought that we would be okay with the inspection. 

WRONG!

So a whole bunch of electrical came up as well as problems with the chimney. What is interesting is that we haven't touched the electrical, which means it was never picked up when we had the inspections done 3 years ago- so WTH?! 

Something else i found funny was the day of the inspections i realized that we never turned the outside water nozzle back on since it was winter. Now to turn it on, you literally turn the knob in the basement and the water turns on. So i called the realtor and told them how to turn it back on. 

Well in the request report they wanted the seller to "de-winterize the outdoor water supply" umm, you mean you want me to turn the knob. Okay cool. 

So we got the long list that the buyer wanted us sellers to fix. It all made me nervous, especially since we are trying to save money since we are paying for the buyers closing costs! How much does this kid want?! 

Thankfully we were able to find someone reasonably priced to do the chimney and electrical work. We turned on the water, and the other thing that we could fix ourselves was the crack in the foundation. The only thing we weren't going to fix was something in the attic that we couldn't even see. Thankfully the kid agreed to that. So all is well. 

All that we have left to do is the crack outside, and that is just because its supposed to pour this weekend, and it needs a few days of sunshine to set. 

Almost there!

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
