Town Code Inspection -- Check!

We passed the town's inspection today, so we're all set to sell the house. We're very relieved, too bad it cost us 800 bucks (100 for 5 minute inspection, 250 for metal door, 50 for other supplies, 400 for labor). Sigh. Everything comes at a cost in life, right? But I guess that in this respect this house has been our biggest mistake ever. It has cost us everything we ever made in the 9 years we've been home owners.

It's not fun to "lose everything" in this way, but we have to pick up and start from scratch again, and we'll do it! Thousands of people are having it all so much harder right now and the truth is: if we had bought any other house it would most certainly be a short sale, so we have to be very thankful that we're even coming out of this sale with something.
We've got to keep on looking at the bright side there! Especially because the tradeoff meant that we got to live on a lovely house for three years. We should be happy about that. And try to do our best not to be sad to leave it. I'll try to post more on that in the upcoming days.
