"Homeless" no more.

The nail-biting and nervous breakdowns over for now. The Deadly Duo closed on the house yesterday afternoon.

These aerial shots available via Zillow, which I mentioned here, are, I'm guessing, 10 years old or more. They don't do the place justice.

The current former owner put a lot of money into the house itself, not to mention having it fully landscaped and installing an irrigation system. The grass is now green and thick. Flowers bloom.

The neighborhood around them looks completely different, too, with everything appearing far better now than these images portray.

At the last minute the current former owner presented them with an unanticipated "problem." She didn't want to take her lawn mower or washing machine and dryer with her after all. Would it be okay if she left them there for them?

The problem? Deciding now which set is better: the almost-new washer and dryer they bought months ago, or the almost-new set they've just been given.

May all of their problems be as difficult.
