At Last

Finally it is ours. Months of planning, negotiating, waiting, and decision making and at last we got our house. We are partially moved in and of course hit a few snags along the way. One of our fridges doesn't work, a ceiling is peeling off, and then of course the gas leak. Only 2 days in and we are sure lots of surprises to come but we did it. I am proud of us all and I am so happy to finally be living in community. Don't worry a housewarming party is already in the works.

In case of breakdown...

On Earth is a community of friends, but it is also an incorporated company. It was an easy legal structure to get done what we wanted to get done.

I just finished preparing our unanimous shareholder agreement. A large part of it speaks to what will happen if things go wrong. If someone dies, if someone becomes incompetent, and if some the shareholders want other shareholder out. It's hard to imagine being in a place where we have to go to arbitration because we can't come to a consensus or a place where we have to force someone to leave.

I really don't think we're really going to need the USA (famous last words?), but it's wise to have it place.

Some people say that a prenuptial agreement takes away the romance. Does a USA put doubt on the quality of friendships?

We Got The House

We move in less than a month!
