No matter what happens SO TRUE.
SO TRUE!!!!
Absolutely! Everything happens for a reason. I just hope that there are no other offers in there while ours are going in!
I had to laugh at Fran's incentive. Let's hope that it works. How big of a problem are the electrics and and plumbing?

I constantly laugh at how Fran uses things to her incentive. That is part of her charm. These two are definitely motivated on our behalf, we just hope there aren't other offers! The electrical and plumbing are about $10K-15K big of problems. It gave us good reason to put in a rather low offer, let's hope it doesn't backfire!
And I know I'm not at least 3-4 updates behind on your TR! I hope I can catch up while we are at my folks since I won't be moving boxes or whatever for the next few days!
That is one beautiful house! I could easily see myself living there even though I don't like living in the 'burbs anymore after all these years on our 5.5 acres. I hope you get it

Well actually this isn't even the "burbs" it's sort of right in the heart of the city, you just can't tell. There is a major street off the back of the property, which backs up on the VA hospital and a University. It's really right in the middle of a bustling town, but looks like it is in the burbs because of the wonderful area. That was our biggest hesitation was what was beyond the backyard.
WOW WOW WOW!
Good luck on the offer tomorrow, I'll be trolling for news!
Love Fran's "offer" and your tiki planning
Hopefully we will know something by mid next week. I will be happy if we have an answer by the time we get home!
Oh my gosh! The house is AMAZING! Whereabouts is it located in LB? At first I was thinking near CSULB but maybe not...I remember taking a shortcut from our apartment through this nice area to get to school and the houses were gorgeous.
So. Which bedroom is mine?!
Yup! That's exactly where it is.

The area is called Park Estates. I'm sure you didn't drive past this house on your shortcut, you probably took Anaheim Road from Clark to Bellflower to get to CSULB. This place is actually way back nestled in the interior, the only problem is that it is so far back that it goes all the way back to Bellflower Blvd and if you remember the Arco off Atherton, and the hotel converted to a Medical building, this property is right behind that.
Pretty much it backs up to Bellflower Blvd. There are 12 ft walls but if our cats get over the walls, they are on a darned busy street. We are hoping to put something on the top of the walls that if they can jump that high then still can't get over, but if they are still that stupid, we hope they don't try to cross the street. This was our biggest fear, but eventually a Park Estates home all on one story with a pool, grassy yard and incredible home won out over the stupidity of the cats. We hope they don't prove us wrong.
You can come and stay with Olga. That will be the only other bedroom besides our own, the others will be repurposed for other uses. Fran is already talking about a second story for the dedicated HM room!
Did you go to CSULB? That's where I went! Class of '93.
I think she was a few years behind you, but we have a few CSU folks here. CSUN! Go Matadors! Sounds better than Go Dirtbags!
