It's starting to feel like we're getting un-stuck in our two-house bind.
We received a signed contract from the renters and a deposit check equal to the first month's rent late last week, but sat on everything until we got feedback from prospective buyers who looked at the house on Friday morning. They decided not to make an offer, so we signed the rental contract and our new tenants get the keys to the house on Dec. 18 to make whatever cosmetic changes they need to be happy there.
Like everything else, I'm not going to relax until they're settled in and we know there are no problems. But it still feels like progress.
We also took advantage of the after-Thanksgiving sales over the weekend to buy our mutual Christmas present - a Blu-Ray movie player. For the first time in the year we've owned our Sharp Aquos TV, we're seeing real high-definition content. Dang! Looks very very good. It also up-samples regular DVDs to 1080p. "Finding Nemo" and "Open Range" look absolutely gorgeous.
Of course, our cable provider is months or years from being able to offer us HD content, so we'll be watching a lot of Blu-Ray movies from Netflix to get our HD fix.
Now I'm off to run some errands in town.
