Mission Accomplished

Like the famous Dubya banner, there is still more to be done than has been accomplished.  But a milestone has been reached.

First, the sale of the Soldotna house proceeds well; most major hurdles behind us and we look like we'll make the projected closing on April 25th.  That means we'll have from the 10th to the 25th to pack the house.  Then we'll drive to Anchorage, put the car in the van and, after recovering for a few moments at the Teague B&B, fly back to Portland.

Then we get a quick grand child fix and back to Redmond to close on the house we just placed under contract.
Yeah, that is fresh snow for the second day in a row.

Address is 2866 NW 19th St in Redmond.  It was due to be listed in MLS today but our realtor got us a quick look yesterday and we had a signed contract by 7 PM.

Today we went back for a few photos, but I got sidetracked and didn't get very many.
Above is the dining area.
The kitchen, not to big but in good shape.

Here is the mostly concrete back yard.

And here is the new Hickory table we bought at the Amish store today for the dining area.

That should satisfy the need to spend for a while.

Off to Portland tomorrow.

Stay dry!
