Today I signed the papers for my first house.
Upon arrival back to my apartment I decided that a victory cigar was in order. I wanted a shorter smoke and I found that I had one (1) Cusano P1 robusto left. I pulled it out of its wrapper and took a smell. Very rich. Much more than the last few I have had. I licked the end and used my punch to cut a perfect hole in the end. My pre light draw reminded me of dark chocolate. I lit it up with a disposable lighter (my butane was out on my good lighter and I forgot what box I packed the fuel in) A few puffs and I was in. I was basking in all my new home glory when I got a phone call from the woman saying there was a problem with the closing. I panicked.

“We had to pay a lot of money on closing cost” she started. “Too much, in fact; we are getting a refund.”
“How much?” I asked, thinking it would be like $20
“$980”
“…”


Needless to say my cigar was twice as sweet after that.
 
Congratulations on the first house Kuzi!! I know what a great feeling that is. We've bought an sold several houses, but that first one is always special. The extra $$$ is just icing on the cake. Hopefully, you'll be able to use some of it toward some fine smokes.
 
Hey Man! Congrats on the new home! Cool! Glad you got some money back too thats sweet, very sweet.
 
Good for you. When the wife and I bought our first house, we got almost the same exact amount as you. Must be a mortgage thing. Since then we have bought and sold a few homes. Never got any money back after the first one.
Good luck.
 
cheers. :D I like to see people get money back instead of being ripped off all the time. enjoy youre new home, oh yeah. Now you have alot of work to do :shock:
 
Congrats, Kuzi!

I'm still waiting to buy MY first house. Everytime I have enough for a down, the housing cost goes up. I just can't keep up with inflation.
 
renting is throwing away money - paying somone elses mortgage.

The best thing you can do is buy a house!
My wishes for the very best :D

Congrats!!! Must be nice...

I'm going to have to move out of Cali before that thought even enters my mind!
 
Hey the same thing happened to me... except the opposite. I hade to pay in 980 bucks :evil:
 
Congratulations brother, it is a cool thing to be a homeowner. Now you get to do yard work, and smoke a cigar, renovations, smoke a cigar, and put picures up on your OWN walls for a change!!!!

Bravo!!! :D :D
 
there is only one sad part about the house:
cant smoke indoors

thank god the garage is detatched.

im actually looking forward to fixing things the way i want them. its MINE. and thats the point.
 
That is what it is all about - it YOURS. I hope you have good neighbors, that really helps things along.

Once again, bravo and congratulations. :D :D






Oh, by the way I must warn you, renovations are never completly finished - there is always another project on the horizen.
