It's Closing Time
The day has finally arrived. Chris and I headed to the house for our final walk through at 9 am. There is a little hip coffee shop in town (yes, we can walk to town from the house) so we headed there to grab coffee since we were a little early. The coffee shop is called Baby Harry Coffee Co. They roast their own beans and have started selling their coffee to local establishments. Pretty cool!
Anyway--we grab some coffee and walk back to the house. Met Joan, our realtor, and we do the walk thru. All is as expected. No surprises. We explained to her about the mattress delivery between 9-10 and the decision was made that Chris would stay behind to wait on the truck while Joan and I head to closing. Luckily, the truck arrived before 10 and Chris was only about 15 minutes late to closing. Papers signed and we are again homeowners.
With all the commotion this morning with the mattress delivery, we forgot to take a photo in front of the house with a SOLD sign. So--this will have to do! It is in front of the closing office. Oh well.
Let me ask you . . . what would Chris do on his first day of owning our new old home? Rip the carpet out of course! After all, tomorrow is trash day. Luckily the house had no carpet on the first floor and the hardwood floors are in good shape. But upstairs, 2 of the bedrooms had carpet as well as the long hallway. Below are a few pics of the first day in our new home ripping our the carpet.

That was dirty work, but it is all out and at the curb for trash pick up tomorrow! First project complete.
After a quick shower, we headed to the Broadway Pub/Colonial Hotel. It is a local restaurant and bar on the first floor and there are apartments/rooms for rent on the 2nd and 3rd floor. It was built in 1871. Great place to grab a quick bite and have a few cold beverages. The bar is original; take a look at the woodwork around the bar. It's amazing that it is still intact. The town is rich with history. I am sure this will be one of our go-to spots especially since it is only 3 blocks from our home.
