Day of closing, as many of you know, is a nail biting experience…but for us it was more like Christmas morning. While Mick was playing a gig right up to signing the paperwork, our agent, Colleen, and I did a walk through of the place before we went to make it all official. If you read our opening post you know that part of the deal was that they were going to leave not only the furniture we asked for but everything else that Mildred couldn’t bring to her new home. Colleen and I went through the house carefully checking off the big items but also looking through boxes, drawers and closets…finding all the unexpected things that were left for us.

Some of the things left for us was a fully furnished dining room, complete with a 6 person table, 3 extension leafs, a sideboard, and hutch full of crystal and glass…and we can’t forget the really awesome clock…Mildred in fact left 4 dining sets, all in mint condition, all with their original chairs and table leafs…we acquired two lawnmowers, a bed, dresser, two lazyboy recliners…and last week I even found a set of dentures upstairs…yep…we got alot when we got this place! We’ve sold some items and some we’ve repurposed.

Below are pictures of some of the other items that were left with the property!
Cool rocking chair…it’s now on our porch…perfect for sunday eveings 😉
Glassware included!
We’d been meaning to get some new cookware…
Coffee tables, recliners, even artwork!
