Finally! He has the signed offer and I can go pick up my copy and get my rate locked. I guess this makes me a homeowner. Not quite yet, but soon. (July 15th is closing).

House Shopping Pains

by justin carlson on 05/06/2008
ExampleI've been waiting years for this point of my life. I've done my homework, saved money for a down payment, worked up proper credit scores, all the things I knew I needed to do.  The housing market is perfect, the feds cut rates last week for what is believed to be the last time for awhile.  So I decided it was time, time to purchase. 

I knew what I wanted in my "first home".  At least 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, a real yard, and a decent sized basement.  My ultimate wish was for a shop to work on cars and do some woodworking but since I also wanted to live in town I figured that was not going to be feasible.

My Tech "Journal"

by justin carlson on 04/24/2008
I use this site to log everything I had to google more than once, in hopes that I can find it easier in the future. Of course It might be useful to someone else which is always nice. If you work with me and you have a question stop by (as long as my headphones are off) or send me a note and I'll come give you a hand.

You might catch me blogging or ranting from time to time as well. Someday I might get my gallery going here since I like photography. It's on flickr for now.

For now this site has absolutely no "design", if there comes a day when I start getting traffic through here, I'll think about doing something about that.
