I'll be glad to help with the landscaping. Congrats!
Posted by: Adam | May 26, 2004 06:17 PM
Congratulations. Looks really nice. Love that lawn. Dude, you can totally crawl out the window and drink beers on the roof while watching the stars, just like on 3rd Rock!
Posted by: Kevin Parrott | May 26, 2004 06:18 PM
Very Nice! Wishing you alot of happy memories in your new abode.

Landscaping, schmandscaping. A real gift would be PHOTOSHOPPING some home improvements for Michele's lovely, tidy new home.

Hey...glad everything finally worked out. It's a great looking house. I hope you have many fine years there.
Posted by: Linda | May 26, 2004 07:06 PM
congratulations! don't think of it as a money pit... think of it as an investment that may require second or third rounds of funding.
cheers!
Posted by: ac | May 26, 2004 07:07 PM
Congratulations on your new home! May it be filled with nothing but happiness.
Posted by: Ith | May 26, 2004 07:15 PM

The Money Pit - As long as it has a good foundation.
Congratulations!
Posted by: Rob M | May 26, 2004 07:21 PM
Michele:
All the best in your new home.
Very soon, you'll be saying that you have to go to Home Depot to 'visit my money'.

Posted by: WG | May 26, 2004 07:26 PM
Congrats, it's a beautiful house!
We hopefully should have one of those tomorrow, too, after going through about four houses to get to it.
Posted by: Patty | May 26, 2004 07:32 PM
Oh, huzzah! Hope it didn't involve too many threats on either part. May your paint jobs be free of drips and your wallpaper line up properly.
Posted by: Dr. Kate | May 26, 2004 07:32 PM
Very cool!
Which room is mine?
Posted by: IgwanaRob | May 26, 2004 08:05 PM
Congrats, Michele.
Posted by: Ray | May 26, 2004 08:11 PM
Wonderful!! Now comes the fun part, at least IMO: Unpacking.
Except for clothes and kitchen stuff, think of it as "opening presents." Plus, you get to move stuff around and decide where everything can go.
Why, yes, I'm easily amused...
Posted by: cardeblu | May 26, 2004 08:42 PM
Whoo Hoo!!! I'm thrilled for you! Good things are worth waiting for, but there's a limit. Great looking house.
Posted by: Ruth | May 26, 2004 08:57 PM
Congratulations! A roomy house, great lawn. (Do you know how to cut a tree into those swirly shapes? I have no idea.)
Good luck!
Posted by: mary | May 26, 2004 09:00 PM
Crap, my house was brand spanking new when we moved in. Still a money pit. It's always somethin'.
Have you heard any voices telling you to "Get Out" yet? Because that, to me, is the key to a happy home. If you don't hear those words whispering huskily from somewhere in the house, everything should work out fine.
Posted by: peat | May 26, 2004 09:02 PM
First thing I thought when I saw the picture was "Oh COOL that space on the second floor outside wall will make an awesome place for a huge tacky Christmas decoration!"
I think I need help.
Posted by: JimK | May 26, 2004 09:04 PM
Oh...and the little lights aren't blinking...clark.

Congrats on the new home. Looks nice
Posted by: Mrs.Chad | May 26, 2004 09:26 PM
Well, I had a congratulation all ready, before I saw that comment above about the (beloved) Red Sox.
Ah, what the hell, congratulations. Glad it's finally over!
Posted by: Skillzy | May 26, 2004 09:35 PM
May all your homes be money pits.
Equity before taxes.
Sweat equity before bad Chinese food.
Live long and happy.
Congrats.

You haven't fought this hard since you birthed a child.
And isn't it beautiful? Got the cone-head thing goin too.
Congrats.

Posted by: VHMPrincess | May 26, 2004 11:30 PM
Congrats Michele.
I know you must have thought at some point you would never own your own house so now is the time to saviour before it lives up to its name.
Posted by: Starhawk | May 26, 2004 11:37 PM
Hooray Michele! Congratulations :)
Posted by: Tom Bridge | May 26, 2004 11:41 PM
It is a great looking house! Here's wishing you and your family a lot of love, joy and October nights watching the Yankees win World Series games in your new home. All the best!
Posted by: Mara | May 26, 2004 11:57 PM
Trust me on this...even with a money pit, there is no better feeling than owning your own.
Congratulations to you and the entire family.

Congratulations! And why yes, it is a Money Pit.™ But it's YOUR Money Pit™. Which makes all the difference in the world. (Saying that, I'm taking estimates for a new kitchen floor, sigh).
