Moving is always a pain in the ass, but it sounds like ultimately you're in a better situation. Great peace of mind not having a mortgage either. Nothing beats 100% equity, especially in today's market. I'm glad you guys found a contractor to save you from that nightmare guy who butchered your flooring. What are the folks like who are buying your old house?

Anyway, congrats. I'm sure you're bummed a bit now, but once you're settled in you'll be good to go.

Salut!

Good luck buying a home with a girl friend. Everyone I know that has tried that wished they never did.
