Default I'll Be A Homeowner.... (+ New Bike Pics)

....in just 13 hours!!!! I'm 25, and I'm going to be closing on my first home at 1:30 tomorrow, so I'm very pumped up right now. I'll get some pictures up after I get moved in.

In other news, I finally got some new high quality pics of the bike today too...

What kind of house is it? New, old, fixer upper? Hopefully I can find one that is great on the outside and just needs some tlc in the inside. Loves me some house work.

Wow, lots of quick responses...

shultzy, no garage per se, but there is a room in the basement that is SUPPOSED to be a garage...just no garage door or driveway lol. The bike fits perfectly in the door though, so no biggie there...should make for a nice workshop.

Yes ranger, those are swingarm sliders. The house was built in the 40s I think...it's in very good shape, especially for the price I got it for with the sheriff's sale...all it really needs is fresh paint and a little floor buffing, as it is still all hard wood flooring and I have no desire to carpet it.

olds, I have definately had the jitters lately working my budget and what not, but I got a pretty good feel for it...I can't spoil myself rotten like I do now, but it's all worth it for my own slice of land. My fear has been turning into excitement as the date kept getting closer.
