Housing Update

This is the outside of our new house.

After several months of searching we’ve finally found a house!  I won’t post a link to it quite yet, don’t wanna jinx it.  We have to get through closing first.  I did include a picture.  We are really excited to have a place of our own.  We’re sick of the apartment life.

It has hardwood floors but they are stuck under carpet right now.  So before we actually move much into the house we plan to have the carpet removed and the floors refinshed, if needed.  Right now it looks like a grandma’s house.  Which it was.  She lived there from the day it was built in 1958.  We’re lucky because everything was very well taken care of inside and out.  The only major repair that needs to be done is taking out the electrical boxes and replacing it with a much safer one.  The rest of the work is just stuff we would like to do to make it feel more like home.  Things like taking down wall paper, the wood floors, new window coverings,  adding a deck(s), etc.

Of course it does mean we will have lots of house work to do this summer.  I’m looking forward to it.  I enjoy doing little (or big) projects around the house.  It also means we will probably need to invest in at least a few new tools .
