    First time home buyer

    Well the process has started.... Meeting with the lawyer today to sign the agreement. Closing should be in about six weeks.

    What are some necessities I will need to buy..... Besides the obvious of course.

    I am starting 100% fresh. Everything I have is from when I was in college 8 years ago. I don't want beer signs and posters hanging everywhere lol.

    I've been traveling for work for the last few years so I never really had an apartment since then....hotel living basically.

    So I basically have nothing!

    This should be interesting lol.

    Congratulations on the new house.

    I personally used Amazon.com to order some of the stuff when I moved recently (they had great prices on a new mattress, etc.).

    I agree.

    If you are single, there are a couple of things you need:

    NuWave...

    Crock Pot...

    Iron skillets (made by Lodge... amazon). 8 inch, 10 inch, and maybe a dutch oven. You can't burn up an iron skillet. Easy to clean.
    Windows 10 to Linux and Mac OSX: I'm PARSECs better than you. Eat my dust!!!
