| Close to work, corner lot, grass needs help, nice neighborhood, very open layout, lots of kitchen space, bar at kitchen counter, nice deck, small but decent yard, no fence, ceiling fans and lights in all rooms, nice large full basement, not finished but could be, cabinets kind of shallow, near a treatment plant. UPDATE 06/15:: We have the home inspection setup for Tuesday the 20th @ 8am. I will get more pictures at that time. So stay tuned. Also Beth is planning on painting some rooms before we move our stuff in. So some of the white walls will be gone. Our offer was accepted on Monday and I am looking for a home loan provider this week and next. As for other home plans we are just picking out some appliances. I have to give a hand to my brother from a different mother, Jim, for giving great home advise and a ton of help even if he is 7 hours away. And yes to all -- we will be making wedding decisions soon. As for the looks of our financial status after this purchase, we will be getting married at the court house and having our reception at Denny's. I would advise keeping the end of September 2007 open for the wedding. UPDATE 06/20:: The home inspection went great. Nothing to be worried about. Just some minor things like we need to cut a hole for the drier exhaust, Ventalation system needs to be insulated where the A/C enters the duct work, siding needs to be snapped in place in a few spots, and a shingle needs to be repaired. All in all the Inspector said the house has a lot of over work and fine attention to structural detail. He was shocked at the price and said we got a tremendous deal. The only things Beth and I need to do when we move in not including the above items are to:
Things are looking great from our end, we found a mortgage lender IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union that offered the Illinois First Time Buyers program that got us a fixed rate of 6.35% while the going rate is over 7% for normal loans and 6.45% for the IHDA loan as of this week. I will be putting up some more pictures that I took today a little bit later. --Dan UPDATE 07/10:: Everything is still on track to close on the 14th! We are painting on the 14th, 15th, and 16th for anyone interested in joining us. There will be snacks during the day and dinner provided in the evening. Please let me know if you would like to come.--Beth UPDATE 07/20:: WE MADE IT!!! We closed on the house on the 14th. Everything is going well. The seller never fixed the A/C so that was a big debocle on Friday after we took posession. We had no air on Friday night in the 95* heat, but got it semi-working on Saturday after a repair man was able to come by. We are still having A/C problems but they will be resolved on Friday when a repair man is scheduled to come by. So don't worry guests. Right now the house is almost completely finished as far as painting and ready to be moved into. We will post some pictures of the painted house soon. We had a ton of help this past weekend and couldn't have gotten through all of it as smoothly as it went without the help of Jenn, Lisa, Vicki, Ken, Ryan, Sarah, and Jim (for all the advise and coupons). The appliances come tomorrow at 8am, and Tuesday MediaComm comes to install Cable Tv/Internet. Some of the things for new homeowners to consider before moving in:

| Your Thoughts: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dan Yaeger I like this house. I can see myself living here. So I decided to put an offer on this house. It has been accepted. I wil keep you posted on our soon to be home!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jenn I LOVE IT!!!!! CONGRATS, you two! The place looks perfect in every aspect - from the large, open kitchen to the nice yard, you cannot seem to go wrong. I cannot wait to help you move in! I've already marked the date on the calendar! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bridget I love this house!!! We'll def. have to do a lill landscaping though. Here's the deal.....I'll help you move in if you help me move into my house in August! Sound like a plan?! : ) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Megg CONGRATULATIONS!!! It is really scary that we are all getting married, buy homes, growing up, having babies (some day anyhow). Congrats and keep me updated on the plans!!!! Good luck! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mom I love it!! Congratulations!!
Now we can start making wedding plans! Yeah!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jan R. Very nice. I actually have been in a house with a similar floor plan. You will have fun making it your own place. Let me know if you need help with landscaping. When I'm not advising students, I'm in my gardens. Congrats!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Brad Does it come in Blue? j/k Congrats, the house looks great, I'm very happy for you guys. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jim Congratulations Dan & Beth! It's a good feeling owing your own home. After you get over the shock of the payments that is. You already know I thought it was a good deal. Why does it cost more on your site than on the realtors? Are you guys going to flip it for a profit? When is the closing? When can I help you move in? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beth It costs more here because I didn't update it after they dropped it again, but needless to say the price drop helped our decision to buy! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. Terrie I'm excited for you both regarding the wedding and the new house. What did you offer $ ?? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. Terrie Where is Colona, IL? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. Terrie Beth, it looks like you were really checking it over...good for you! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Karisma So Nice! Congrats! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beth Colona is just across the border on the illinois side. Close to the quad cities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gretchen Good job guys. It looks like a nice house, you did a wonderful job :-) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Aunt Linda Great House!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to the both of you. Let us know what is going on. Waiting on date!!!!
lOVE TO BOTH OF YOU |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Big J Nice, Place looks great. Wish you to the best there. Just like Jim, give me a shot when you move. Then again with my knee, all I'ld be able to do is tell you how to lift things. But i'm good at overseeing so its all good. Your one step closer to your castle. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Don & Cindy Great news on the house and upcoming wedding! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Grampa & Grandma Looks good and a nice start. Good Luck but why the wedding at the Court House and the Reception at Denny's? Can we try Chilli's or Applebees. Even Cracker Barrel would be ok. Lots of love to in starting a home of your own. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jim Hey looks like the reception just got more affordable. I am going to take Grandpa and Grandma's comment as an offer to pick up the tab! Look at all the money your saving. LOL |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dan Now Jim's thinking! I will take that as they will pay for the reception, and just send them the bill :) thanks Grandma & Grandpa! haha.. I already told them that Chilli's and Applebees was too upscale for me and that Cracker Barrel might work out if they know someone that knows someone that will get us a deal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gramdma & Grandpa What an interpritation you young folks have. We will take each day as they come. You know you may even win the lottery if you can find a few dollars left over. We will consider to pay the reception for the bride and groom only. How does that sound. We also will continue to pray for great successes as you prepare to become family oriented. We won't forge you. Love Grandma & Grandpa |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Uncle Mike & Aunt Di Boy, are you guys lucky to find such a perfect house for a young couple! Everything looks so new and clean! I know you'll be very happy here! Maybe if we get to Quad Cities again, we'll stop by! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lisa I really like how the header of your site looks. The font looks really classy....but then I see the outhouse right next to it. Hmmm so should I ask, does the bathroom plumbing work? Or did you guys just think that you couldn't afford indoor plumbing when you started your search? Let me know if I have to bring my own TP and noseplugs when I come over this weekend. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Uncle Bob It looks like you two have a super start. Have a great life |
