Yes, it's a private sale so we don't have realtors. I drafted an Offer to Purchase Real Estate and the seller and I signed that last night. They didn't ask me for any good faith payment, so I haven't officially paid anything yet, but the house is ours.

The appraisal will start soon, then closing, and that's pretty much it.

This process has been a dream, I'm so glad we haven't been through the horror story ringer that a lot of my friends have.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! If you ever come to Detroit, you're more than welcome in our home!

He's just got the XBOX. We'll keep the standard Blu-Ray players down there and in the bedroom and do the Google TV box in the living room, I'm thinking (hoping! lol)

I don't see it as a man cave, just more of a chill space than our general living room. But you can bet every square inch of the wall will be covered with posters, art, etc. I'm thinking of painting the walls (they're paneled) a charcoal gray or black. I think that would look rad.

Thanks, Buzz. We'll report back tonight after we come home from the meeting. Celebration next week!! I may not even kick you in the nuts, I'm in such a good mood.
