Yesterday my husband and I closed on our co-op apartment. The whole process before the closing was a pain in the ass – it took over 3.5 months from bid to close. Closings mainly involve a lot of check writing between parties for fees and reimbursements, and signing documents. We must have signed over 30 documents and initialed another 50. I think one of them said I am now the Overlord of Moolahgon. My favorite part of the closing was our Lawyer. He is a friend of my sister in-laws (read dated once), and a pretty boy. His phone ring was “Everybodies working for the weekend” and at one point he got up to make a phone call and came back with a Turkey Sandwhich. Which he ate as documents were signed, checks exchanged and Overlords kinged.

We took the keys, made some purchases at home depot, and went to work. Scrapping the paint off the walls in the bedroom is step one. Unfortunately we did not realize how hard it was going to be. We discovered about 8 layers of paint. The previous colors I could see were, Light Brown, yellow, Blue, white, off white and 2-3 layers of sadness.

We’ll get it done. Why? Because the Overlord of Moolahgon always gets it done.
