Gettin' closer

Well things are moving right along on the sale/purchase.
We have recieved a purchase offer on our place and accepted it! It was several thousand below what we planned on the lowest we'd accept, but in the end we didn't want to lose another summer on the farm for a few thousand dollars. It leaves us enough to pay off our mortgage, home equity, all the associated costs that go with the sale of one house and the purchase of another, and we are going to pay off the tractor, and then we'll have a little left over.
Of course the left over amount won't last long building fence, and doing some basic repairs to the house.
Since we accepted the PO, we have now had our home inspected by a "professional home inspector" and he found things wrong that we didn't know were wrong for the last nineteen years we lived here, but they offered to let us give them a credit to have the work done when they move in, sweet huh? They must have correctly guessed that I fell off the turnip truck last night, because I took their deal, so that we could get the deal done on the house ASAP.
I spent all day today digging up the septic tank to have that inspected tomorrow, as that is one of the requirements whenever you sell a house. It didn't take too long to find the main pump out cover as I kinda knew where that was, but of course I dug in the wrong spot - twice- trying to find the second inspection cover, which they have to be able to access to check the distribution box. I'll post pics the next time I blog, but i'll have 'em on FB tomorrow.
Sunday Cindy and I went by the farm and stopped to visit with the folks we are buying it from for a little while, and we are both getting pretty excited about this!
Cindy checked out the garden spot and there are: rasberries, asparagus, rhubarb and grapes in and we can go over and till up the rest of the garden whenever we want to start planting.
I walked where I plan on putting in my first fences and now have an idea of what I need to start building fence.
We are truly blessed with great family and friends. My friends Terry and Chuck have generously offered to loan us their post pounder for building our fence, which is a huge savings. One of my dealers has offered me the use of a big cargo trailer for our move and is willing to sell us stall panels at a great price so we can get the horses all taken care of!
I talked to the farmer who is currently working the land and after he realized that I wanted to work with him, he has offered me some great advice on planning for the future with our farm.
And to top all of this off, I got a call from a company today with a great product line that may be interested in having me rep for them, which could really help us financially if they decide to let me have the territory!
So all is well here, and our farm is getting closer every day, though I refuse to let myself believe it's mine until the papers are all signed, and the checks are all deposited, but it is looking like that will happen June 1st.
Just remember God is good, and he takes care of us if we let Him!
