Thanks. It will likely be early in the new year before we can move in - we close November 15, and then we can bring in people to draw up plans for the modification we need to do, and get permits, and hire contractors and get the work done, all of which may take some time. And then we need to leave the house vacant while the new materials used in the renovations detoxify.
At least we are in the position of being able to carry mortgage and rent for a few months, so we don't have to hurry, and will be able to make sure we get everything we need, done - becasue of course, once we do move in, we will not be able to do any major work on the house again (barring some kind of emergency, when we'll just have to suffer, of course), becasue doing work while we are living there will just make us intolerably ill.
