I'm not going to lie, I spent most of the evening stressing that the new house that we've grown so in love with was going to fall through when this afternoon during the house inspection, the nice man found something called vermiculite in our soon-to-be attic that could be ASBESTOS. SCARY, HEALTH-THREATENING, STUPIDLY-EXPENSIVE-TO-FIX ASBESTOS.

D:

Immediately after the inspection, we ran a sample of the stuff over to a lab tech to have it tested. There was a horrible, preemptive fake out when later in the evening we finally got the results back -- which were good -- but turned out to not be ours. We were accidentally sent someone else's results, so we had a brief five-minute celebratory dance only to have the horrible truth come crashing down on us and plunging us into another hour of nervous, anxious dread. Thankfully when the actual results did come back, it was also nothing but good news! X3

The rest of the inspection went really well. (Okay... well there was some tense moments where we thought that we'd accidentally lost the seller's cat when we left the front door open... *Sweatdrop*) There's a few areas in and around the house we'll need to patch up like drainage and a support beam outside for the roof awning, but they're all things we can do ourselves and won't cost that much. And that, ladies and gentlemen, along with our confirmed financing (finally... oh god what a stressful last two days) means our two closing conditions have been met and we are officially getting the house! La la la la laaa~

Gaah! I completely forgot to take any more pictures of the house while I was there today though! *Angst* I was too busy measuring rooms and worrying about deadly asbestos. Now I must start making to-scale grid diagrams of each room and laying out tiny paper furniture~ :B

Countdown until shiny exciting house possession: 42
