It's now official. We have a signed offer sheet to buy our new house! More room, less stairs with a ground floor master bedroom, and a pool! Hope to be in on July 30th.

Nice! Ground floors are great!

Nice. Looks like your new WitP-AE CIC will be above the garage.

Over the garage is one option, Schani. Here is an alternate option:

I hope the old house was enough to pay the new one to high degree...

Purty! Nicely done, dood.

Does that mean you won't need our guest room after July 30?

My collection of WWII beach items continues to grow. The bottle on the left is volcanic sand from Iwo Jima, the one on the right is beach sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and the two "rocks" are pieces of coral from Pelileu's white beach. I plan on putting up a shelf in my office to display these and others as I collect them. If you are going to a location that has an invasion beach, please let me know. Thank you to all those that sacrificed all so that we may live in freedom in this great country!

CB, we'll see. Have to move out of our old house by July 30th, and officially scheduled to close on the new house on Aug 20th, but if the loan paperwork (VA) is completed, the new house sellers are happy to move up closing to also be on the 30th. It saves them an additional mortgage payment.

Missed this one earlier, Leo. Equity on the old house will cover some of the new house, but not nearly as much as one could want.

How'd you do on your mortgage interest rate and points, homey?

No points involved (AFAIK) with a VA loan. Will find out today what the current rate is. We were looking at 4% rate 2 weeks ago, but it will likely be higher now. Compared to a month ago, I could complain, but compared to almost any point in our nation's history, I have no complaints.

No points is a sweet deal. Do you pay a PMI or are you putting enough down that you don't have to? I hear ya about the interest rate. Locked in on a 3.75% 15 year in 2010 here. *Just* missed the window for refinancing at 2.75% three weeks ago. Urg!

What's particularly galling is that one of my coworkers timed her lock in *just* right, snagging a 2.78% 10 year fixed.

Too bad I didn't know that a little earlier. Passed through Dieppe when I was in France/Belgium just a month ago and walked along the invasion beach.

No PMI with the VA loan "guarantee". That's the biggest benefit.

ARGGGGGG!!!!!! Ask me again when it's over.

Actually, it's the shortest government move I've ever done, only 500 miles. So I can complain. Looks like we have a nice colonial townhouse (which I've still not seen the inside of). You'll have to come visit us. Maybe we can do a summit?

Maybe. In the meantime, a quick question, if I may?

You got that turn done yet?

Nope. Ask me in a day or so when I'm done loading the truck.

Lovely weather here in Stockholm. Sitting in the sun on the balcony drinking coffee, reading and watching people passing.

Thanks, Steve. Actually, we've already moved about half of our stuff out of the old place into storage to "stage" the old house for sale. Guess it worked.

Are you guys into your new place yet?

Ah! People watching, a great pastime. But now, with a laptop, you can do that and play WITP:AE at the same time!
