House Hunting/Killing

Landon and I have been house hunting for the past few weeks.
Let me first start by saying, I hated it.
But, if you want to make money in real estate this is the place to sell a house, apparently.

$150,000 in a town of 500 people that's 70+ years old? Seriously??

Well, we finally found a house. A very, very small house in which 3 people can sleep. It's a two bedroom one bath home that could use quite a bit of work. It has already been redone to some extent but it could still use quite a bit of help.

Obviously this wasn't my dream home or even close, but it will be the first place of our own and I hope with a positive attitude (which I have to find) hard work (which I have to learn) and the help of YHL (Young House Love) for inspiration we can turn this house into a lovely home. It's possible, I suppose - now where can I find money growing on trees?

The one advantage the YHL couple has is the fact they live near several hardware stores, IKEA, etc. The closest thing here is Orschelns, which unless we need a big supply of ducks and feed, won't help us out much.

It should be an adventure, for sure.

So I'm thinking with this new leaf there should come a new blog. Either that over overhaul this one, but I think it would be easier to start again.

So, coming soon a new .... well, something.
Thanks for being so patient with me and understanding and maybe the next blog will be MUCH more organized, etc.

Thanks for reading!
