Update on the house!

Here is an update on the house! Our offer was accepted, it passed the home inspection with a minor problem with the electrical that is getting fixed and we our now just waiting for final financing to come through and we close on May 1! The house is one block from the elementary school and two blocks from the city pool. The house is a three bedroom 1 1/2 bath(and a toilet under the stairs in the basement), a bonus room that I will use as a daycare room(which is where the half bath is) the house is on 1/3 of an acre, a huge deck, 70% finished basement with pool table, and the most exciting part is a "TORNADO SHELTER" in the basement. All of the main things have been done recently-roof, windows, siding. There are alot of cosmetic things we will be doing but only a few things we want to do right away with the house...
-we will pull the carpet in the bathroom
-we will pull the carpet in two of the bedrooms(hardwood underneath and the other rooms are fine)
-the deck will be pressure washed and weather treated
Besides all of that we will do the normal painting, etc. but the above will be more immediate.
Hopefully all will go well with financing and we will have us a new home in a month.

This is the deck out back.
