"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's great news, Burrell!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY Burrell!
msbelle, I've been wanting a pull-down Ladder into my attic, but I was told I don't have enough room for one. It's just a small square opening. Did you have to have a large opening to fit yours?
I only had a small square opening, so he had to cut a new hole and frame it out with the stair kit. We did it in my garage, but I know people who have the pull down in the hall or a large closet. It really depends on what the trusses in your attic are like in order to have room to frame it out without cutting into them.

Yay Burrell!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Excellent news, Burrell!

Congratulations, Burrell! Buffistas in power, rar!
Filled out the visa applications for the trip to Tanzania tonight. So excite!
Except I made the bookstore owner cry today: she didn't know about my BIL, and he used to go in there pretty regularly (it's right near both our offices). Sigh.

The status is NOT quo.
That's amazing, Burrell!
We lost at least one house to a cash offer for $75K over asking. The second house will most likely be going to someone who made a lower offer but offered more than $300K down. So yeah.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
AND I'm going to Hawaii in a couple days for a conference
t perks up It's Oahu, isn't it? It's always Oahu. Congrats, though!
Boo, Pix. I hope the housing gods smile on you guys sooner than later.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks everybody
Yep Debet, it's Oahu. I've only been to the Big Island.
And ugh PIx, that's maddening. It seems like the only way to have more than $300K to put down is to already have a home. In which case you clearly need it more than they do. Arrrgh.

Got a call from my boss. The dept election went in my favor, so pending the dean's approval, I'll be Director of the department next year. It'll be a rotating position. AND I'm going to Hawaii in a couple days for a conference. It's been a good week. But that doesn't mean I'm done with grading - nope!
As for everyone! Yay!
