So she really, really needed to sell the place ASAP.

While I'm sad for her situation the timing really worked out. Funny how six months ago everybody was gently (and sometimes not so gently) urging me to get out there and find something, and I just couldn't get motivated. This place wasn't even on the market then, I could've ended up with something nowhere near as nice for a lot more money. Then one day I decided the time was right and BOOM this place turned up and after looking at what else was available, there was just no competition at all.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! And it's so much less money than I thought I was going to have to spend to get what I wanted in a place that was move-in ready! I'm so excited!

AND NOW THE GREAT HUNT FOR BOXES BEGINS.

Good deal! Glad it is working out for you. Boxes are relatively inexpensive at Home Depot/Lowes.
