The Death of a Website

I closed SamSmith.co.nz last month. After 8 years I realized that I just wasn't using it, and it wasn't worth the $100 a year it was costing me.

This blog may or may not continue. For now... it is sleeping... :)

Moving some stuff around here

Bear with me.

Current Net Worth

We're finally all moved in and about about 95% unpacked... only 360 mortgage payments left...




Tuesday 19 May 2009

7 more sleeps

The offer and purchase & sale was accepted. The movers and UHaul truck is booked, 95% of everything is packed. All the mortgage paperwork is complete and the bank has granted the loan. The insurance is settled, the mail has been redirected, and the apprasial is done. New furniture has been ordered - Jordan's Furniture, IKEA and Target's future is secure thanks to our recent purchases... ...and in 7 sleeps my net worth will take a -825% hit.

I can't wait. :)

House Inspection A-OK

Everything was fine at the house inspection. The inspector commented at the end that it was the 'best inspection he has done for 6 months". A couple minor things here and there and a possible building code voilation with the location of the fuse box, but nothing that will stop this train from continuing to roll!!
