Sparky, congrats on the new house! Is it in roughly the same area?

We have some questions to pose to the inspection people about the house, like you do when the house is close to 100 years old, so we may have to repudiate the contract sometime in the next 7 days, but we're crossing our fingers as this would get us off our very busy street onto a very quiet one for the same mortgage payment.
Link goes poof soon: (poof!) If you want to know ping my profile addy!
I like my libraries new and my houses old.

Yes, same neighborhood, so no changes for daycare or school. Just tucked away on a one-block street.

The porch is divine. It's significantly larger than your current place? Wainscoting in the bathroom? And the kitchen looks great!
Congrats!

Sue, fi you'd like me to look over your resume/letter, and/or cheerlead, I'd be happy to. Academic libraries are great, and I am also writing a lot of letters saying "I've never done this, but I have the skills to!"

Thanks flea! I may take you up on this.

Sparky, congratulations on the new house! It's beautiful! I love the kitchen.

Oh, Sparky's link made my bungalow-loving heart sore. I miss my house in Georgia. (Which is rented, as of Oct. 20! To a new librarian where I used to work. Go team money!)

It looks great -- those floors look fantastic.
Also, love the pics of the park at the end.
I've been in SoCal long enough that when I see something that leafy and that green (the yard) it takes me back a bit. We have plants and fruit trees, but even still, everything here is so undrenched and bleached out, nothing lush. I miss it.
