The New House



So after 6 months of looking at houses this is what we have decided the bank should buy for us. It is not perfect but no house is. We like the location and think we can stay here for quite a spell. There is quite a bit of updating to be done. I am thinking about having one of those fundraisers where the donors get their name on a plaque to be displayed in the house (at least we will hang it up when we know you are coming over for a visist). The bigger the donation the bigger the plaque. We have grand plans but these plans I am sure will easily outspend the budget. The good thing is that because it needed updating we could afford the house. Now we just need to save and do projects one by one. It should be fun and give one a sense of accomplishment. So if any of you have any specialities in the construction business and have some spare time to visist your old friends just bring your checkbook, credit card, and experience and we will provide the free lodging, food , and entertainment. We look forward to your visits.






Backyard if not obvious
Living Room


Dining Room - we are thinking of staying with the same motif


Pool
Yes it has a pool. Just not on the property but down the road in the sub. There are also tennis courts and some other stuff we will pay for and likely not use enough to justify our HOA fees.

i have no construction skills, and my checkbook and credit cards are kind of worn out, but i'd still like to come and see it. and you.

looks like a nice big living area..
nice established yard...and it is your own fault if you don't get your moneysworth out of the pool..
we live in a HOA community but we are about the only ones that use the pool...kind of feels like our own!! Congratulations you guys..
