Tempting Fate

If all goes well, as of this Friday, October 13 at high noon, I will be a homeowner. Actually, to be completely accurate, I will be the owner of 92 shares allocated to my unit, subject to the terms of a proprietary lease -- in other words, I'm buying into a coop.
I haven't posted anything about this impending purchase because I didn't want to jinx it (given my closing date of Friday the 13th, I think that if the sale is meant to happen, it will). This unit has had its problems -- closing was scheduled for September 27, but when I went on my walk through, there was water damage to the ceiling. I went on another walk through today, and everything looked fine and dandy. Next comes renovations... I hope I can move in by Turkey Day, especially since the family is planning on spending it here in NYC. It'll be a bit crowded to have 5 people plus our dog in my studio.
I anticipate that the upcoming renovations will be quite blogworthy.

I'm so jealous! I was just thinking that I wanted my own place to fix up. Actually, I was thinking I wanted to flip a house, but that's fairly similar! Congrats- hope it all works out perfectly!
