5561 Seapine Road

We were so lucky, given the economic circumstances this summer, to sell our house pretty quickly. We didn't sell it for nearly the amount that we thought we would be able to, but were able to get out about what we had paid for it 4 years earlier. We closed on the house on June 17th, and rented back from the owners for a few weeks until we moved. This should have worked out great for all, but there was one big hiccup.

The buyers had an inspection done, and had done a walk-through of the house the day before the closing. We fixed a few things for them (nothing major) and thought all was fine. The closing went through without any problems. However, on June 21st the air conditioner went out and was deemed irreparable. We were very grateful we no longer owned this house! We spent a good chunk of the next week dealing with the new owners, the insurance company, air conditioning company, etc. It was a huge pain and it was so miserably hot! The insurance company refused to fix it, so we decided to live with it. The worst part of it all was that James' family was coming into town and stayed with us, so we felt bad that their accommodations were not more comfortable. And really, when I say hot, I mean hot. It was 90+ every day and very humid.

Since this blog serves as our family's scrapbook, I wanted to include some pictures of our house. We have so many good memories of this home and the time we spent in Columbus, Ohio.
