I know this topic isn't machine related, but  I had to  blow off some of the stress, and hey, it was my best find this year, well last year.

Is it a bad thing  part of the criteria when I was looking was such thigs as, how many steps are there if I have to  haul machines down the staris, and are the ceilings high enough to  put the phone booth in?

The important question is:

"Does it have a Fallout Shelter?"

LOL  TIm,  when we were looking, I told my agent one of the criterias was a fallout shelter so I can be ready for the upcoming  Collapse of civilization.  Luckily she has as twistred sense of humour as I do.
This one is a tri-level,  and the downstairs has already been taged as the 'Game Room'

Bubba- it's on the market as a short sale, so I could close in a few weeks once we come to an agreement,.    A little paint,  steam the carpts, and off I go

I have always been in a house within two to three weeks of making the offer.

$100? I wish,  since I have another 25 or 30 of those signs.
And the Michigan Mafia  have one to put above their machines also

At $100 a pop you should be able to cover those closing costs! 

I'm not letting mine go!  Thanks again Kilroy!

Any updates?

[Kilroy]

Nothing  confirmed, though the seller's agent  has told us the bank  has been in contact with the seller, and he seems to think the bank will accept  the second offer. It's all hearsay at this moment, at least the interest rates continue to drop.  Last time i looked, they were at 5.25%, not to shabby

Gah, it's been since  the Friday after Thanksgiving since the  initial offer went in, no wonder I'm stressed. 

[Kilroy]

Got a call  from my agent Friday afternoon,  we received a verbal agreement, bank needs a paper or two signed by the owner, but  it's pretty much as good as  a go.
So I guess it's almost official,  we made the offer contingent on passing the home inspection and  that the selling price is equal to below the assessed value inspection, which shouldn't be a problem. Closing will prolly be mid February.

Now the stress sets in....
