RHB - Wow, you've made so much progress in such little time! It looks great.
DCGator - that sounds great!
NEL - Ugh, I hate matching paint. With the two rooms that you have left, if there are only a couple of spots that you're wanting to cover and they're limited to 1-2 walls, you could find a really-close-but-not-exact match and then just paint those walls. I've done that before and I don't think anyone else noticed.
Deadline was 5 pm yesterday. By yesterday night, I think DH was coming to terms with not getting the house. And then today at around 11:30, the bank made a counter-offer. I called that one. I have a feeling that they are trying to toy with us emotionally to get us to give in. (Unfortunately for them, I can be super stubborn.) The latest counter was for $4,900 over our initial offer, same concessions, 2 year home warranty. It included a $1500 incentive for our realtor and her company. She suggested that, if we're interested, we counter again, for $3,400 over our initial offer and no realtor incentive. The net to the bank would be the same. The home warranty's worth $1,100, and so overall this is about $2,300 over our initial offer which did not include a home warranty. I think I can live with that. I put a deadline of 5 pm Friday on the counter, so I'm expecting to hear from them on Saturday afternoon...
This process has been going on for 13 days. Crazy.
