Okay, kids, so, the big news: we’re buying a house. It’s located at 69 Hughes Street in East Haven (ugh—it seems that all the things that make East Haven the armpit of the east coast also work to make it a cost effective place to buy a house… dammit—it’s okay, though, ’cause we’re gonna hang a banner from the front of the house exclaiming our hatred for the town just so people aren’t misled by our purchasing a home there).

Baby Hughie (as we’re calling her), was built in 1936. She has four bedrooms, one bathroom, 1,308 square feet of floor space, and she’s on a 0.13 acre lot. She’s got a fireplace, a deck, a sunroom and some other stuff. Our closing is Thursday, July 28.

Anyway, we’ve got pictures:

Actually, if you click on that picture, you’ll be taken to our new flickr photoblog of the house: fully sixty snapshots of most of the house complete with notes and such. The pictures were taken during our inspection last Tuesday. Not pictured in the tour are the living room, the foyer and the bathroom. I just couldn’t get in those rooms at appropriate times to snap photos of ‘em. Anyway, go check out the photos. A couple of notes, though: 1. The house was full of the sellers’ crap when these pictures were taken. Try to picture it either empty or full of our crap. 2. Remember, these photos will be looked at by friends and family alike. There’s definitely overkill here, but, there are actually some people—our moms, for instance—who will want to see every single photograph which exists. 3. Make sure you read the descriptions and notes and such.

Here’s a look at the flickr interface. The captions in red show what’s what:

That should explain how to get through all of these photos, I’d think. At least well enough for our purposes. Anyway, leave comments or whatever, and let us know what you think of our humble abode.
