Well we are officially homeowners again. Bought a house in Paso Robles after living in a rental for ~1 yr, just moved this weekend. Nothing too crazy, just a decent sized home in a good neighborhood. It's mostly turn-key - all rooms have been renovated within the last 5 years, as well as new heater, A/C, water heater, ducting/insulation, plumbing, and dry rot repair. Had to paint 2 bedrooms that were pink and violet, but that's about it. Totally move in ready.
I can't even put into words how appreciative I am of the excellent maintenance by the previous. Pride of ownership is obvious to say the least. The last patriarch of the house was an industrial plumber/HVAC guy, which also shows.
Of course, there are a few little things. Gonna do a reclaimed wood accent wall in the family room, white wash (not paint) all the brick, I'd love to do a forest mural on one wall in the master bedroom, and plant some fruit trees. Shed could use a new roof soon. And wall mounting the flat screen and tucking cables in the wall - that's mostly done.
