Secret dreams of owning an orchard

We really like this house in Vollintine Evergreen!
It's two/ three bedrooms, 1 bath, large living room, dining room, breakfast room, and of course a kitchen. It has a nice sized screened-in porch. And CENTRAL A/H!!! Yea!!! The thought of that is so comforting. No more weird dog hair burning smell at the beginning of the winter. No more freezing in any room but the dining room. No more being hot in any room that doesn't have an A/C window unit in the summer. So appealing.
It is a fixer-upper. I believe the woman who lived there before was very cute and sweet. She taped neat old recipes and such in all the kitchen cabinets and labeled all the shelves. She was however, elderly and didn't have the ability to maintain the interior of the house. It does appear that she did a good job of keeping up maintenance on the major things like the roof and the central A/H unit, etc. She even had the floor joists and foundation completely reinforced! We really like the lay-out and after many of the houses we've looked at, the work that needs to be done doesn't seem to be that scary. We'd have to rip up a good amount of carpet and free the lovely hardwood hidden beneath it and peel wallpaper off the walls before we repaint. But that's not as bad as tearing out walls, right!?!
The backyard is pretty big and is full of fruit trees! So if it all works out- we could make true homemade apple pie and fig preserves! The garage is full of great shelves and utility drawers- all of course already labeled for nails, screws and other fun gadgets Andrew has.
So Jeff asked the other real estate agent if we could get a home inspection (since it's being sold as-is). She said no problem. We sent the home inspection guy in as well as a termite inspector. The termite inspector did find evidence of termites in the original floor joists, but a termite treatment would need to have been done either way because it appears it had been a few years since it was last done. So, we weren't run off by that. The home inspector found some problems, most of them small (i.e. Andrew and/or I can take care of them with the help of Home Depot). After Andrew and Jeff forwarded the reports to our mortgage guy, he informed us that the only problem is the termite deal. So in order to close we would have to pay for the termite treatment. Not so bad. A littel scary to shell out $550 on a house you don't own, but in order to own it- we gotta do it. And we really like it. So we made an offer. Now we just waiting- the hardest part really. We'll know by 4:00 Monday and I'm sure that without our friends Mario and Rachel's wedding this weekend I'd die of impatience!
