I’m feeling a little deflated as I type this week’s new house
update. We started looking at the house
a little more closely for issues that we need to discuss with our inspector in
two weeks and what we need to make sure gets fixed before we move in (hopefully
in four weeks). When you look closely at
things that are wrong, it is easy to get into a bad mood.
Kenyon described it best when he said “we’re getting C- work while
we’re paying for at least a B+ house.” I
feel like our expectations just aren’t being fully met. I’m not sure if we set our expectations too
high or what. I have reached out to our realtor
and set up a meeting with her at the house next week. I feel like we need a professional’s opinion
and a different set of eyes. We just
want to know that our investment is a good one.
This bad mood has put a little bit of a black cloud over the new
home excitement. I think part of that is
due to me just feeling a bit rundown lately.
I really want this to turn out okay.
I don’t want to get so focused on the little things that we aren’t happy
once we move in. But I also don’t want
the little things to slide and down the road they become big things or that we
wish we had done something different.
I’ll check in next week after we meet with Christina. I’ve cried over the phone to Christina
several years ago at the end of our first home buying experience. She was a huge help and very positive. So I’m hoping she will rub off on us again.
