So, as many of you may already know we bought a house this week  :dancing: And to celebrate that fact I am holding a contest.

The question is: how much did we end up paying for the house? Since I am Norwegian, I would like the amount to be in Norwegian Crowns, NOK.

If the same answer is given multiple times, I'll pick the first one to post it. I'll leave the contest open until we have gotten the keys to the house, which is early October. The winner will receive a fiver of something exotic  :shades:

Updated; I am adding a picture of it. It's the right part of a semi-detached house.

Update2; we get the keys on October 10. Contest will close on that date. Oh, and only one answer (Brian)  :shy:

You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.
Aldous Huxley

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

I'm confused Thomas "it's the right part of a semi detached house" does this mean it is actually a duplex and you bought the 1/2 on the right? :confused:

Can we also have a little info on # bedrooms and things like that? Or is that not really pertinent info?

Thanks for the contest, congratulations again for the house.

I say it was 916 003 NOK, but I have no idea.

If I'm aloud another guess and you are kind enough to give me the address of the house, I'm sure I could do better.  :biggrin:
