Next step
As The Hubby has been on my case for a new child, I'm on his case for a bigger house. Today we called an estate agent just to see what our options were. Did it make sense to sell our house, or build up a second floor from wood...
It doesn't make sense to build - but we don't have enough money to buy a new place.
I guess we'll be staying put for a bit longer.
Also - I called up my favorite furniture shop to do some sort of group promotion together on Tchochkes.com and she thought it was a great idea. I also offered my services to write her English site when she needs that.
**Sigh** this house was good sized with a big lot. It wasn't as well laid out as I would have liked, but it was a shell - which means I could put whatever I wanted into it. I could pick everything. That has a lot of appeal to me.
Ok - it was too expensive. They want the same price for an empty shell that we could get for our house now. Course this is a bigger house on a bigger lot on a new street. We would have to put in about 400k to finish the place off - that's the problem. I have a window guy. I have a tile guy. The plumbing and electricity has been finished. I'm not totally positive we would need to hire a 'finishing kablan' (finishing contracter)
I could blog about the work - that would give plenty of content for tchochkes. I wonder if I could get the whole thing done as a TV show and get the difference paid for that way...
