Congratulations, and if you want the number of our excellent inspector, let me know.

We did, by god oh my brain, I am not panicking, my brain, my heart, we bought a house.

Maybe. Our realtor has one they deal with, I think we might go with them. I don't know. I'm not on the details too well right now.

Coffee tomorrow would be good. 'mail me at Gmail? Possibly at 2:00? We're running off to hand over the deposit tomorrow oh my god we bought a house!

Assuming, you know, inspection and such-like all goes through. But we bought a house!

It's 5:19 and I just got done trying to install an operating system. *tears hair*

But if I am up remotely in time, we're on. I'll email you when I rise from the dead.

We actually do! I hadn't thought of that...

Also, there's a fireplace, for disposing of flammable evidence.

Appreciated. We're looking at professionals--it's winter, they'd have insurance, we're going to be jittery--but I'll keep that in minf.

YEAY!

Congrats to the two of you!

House ownership is a great thing!

Do you guys get tax breaks for owning? We get to deduct interest that we pay on our house from our annual tax owed.

I believe we get to deduct mortgage interest, and I know we get a tax credit for property tax. And there's a set-up where you can take up to $20K out of your RRSP to help with buying the home and it doesn't count as income.

My stomach feels like it's on a rollercoaster.

Thanks. :) My stomach has been fizzing at odd moments during the dy--like butterflies, but more intense. It's a little unnerving.

(Eeeeeee! House!)

Go mad. :)

I'm excavating--going through some stuff, and tossing some things now so I don't need to decide when I pack them. I have so many books it's not funny.[1]

That's awesome. My wife and I have frequently considered (and even embarked upon) that same path, but I am clearly more of a coward than you and I have thus far backed out.

It may help that I think our landlord is a bit of a vicious twit, and that *something*--ceiling or walls--in this basement apartment in this ~100-year-old building has leaked every spring since I moved in.

Thank you.
