Gimme shelter
So, it looks like I may have a house in 30 days. It's not the one for too much money, but it's in the same neighborhood. It's officially three blocks from the library, a block or two from a beer/cigarette store, down the street from Walgreen's and five or six blocks from downtown.
While it's a bigger house with more square footage than the one we've got, there are less roomes. So it looks like we will give up on the guest room that is always ready. Although we are considering getting a murphy bed. Anyway, all new fixtures, all new plumbing, wiring, heating and cooling, new floors, new kitchen in a house built in the 40s. For a shockingly low price.
Here's the front
And the back:
And the shop:
So yeah, I'm officially nuts. It's not like I haven't been wanting to do this for a year or so, it's just that I saw that house and fell in love. I was relying on Brack being Mr.PoohpoohThisIsNotAGoodIdea, like he normally does, but when he saw it...well. We're gonna try to buy it. Of course we may kill each other in a year because it only has one bathroom. Either that or we'll be putting in a bathroom quickly. ;)
Now I'm off to finish my coffee, work on a presentation, read three books, write three book reports, write a great big paper, give a presentation, fly to Chicago, give another presentation, fly home, study for a test, take a test, and get this house ready to move. Yeah. Totally nuts.
