Corner view, taken by me after purchase |
Front view, taken by realtor months (year?) before purchase |
We did not get to work on this place before we moved nor move in as I would have liked (slowly and orderly). We have been struggling ever since. We bought it in March 2012 after months and months and months of trying. Seriously. For it being cash payment (no, not rich, just a loan from someone) on a foreclosure (yay for us), it was ridiculous. That is the government for you. We first looked at it right after Thanksgiving 2011. It "sold" the minute Eric heard the kids running around in it (for one who's not really sentimental or the like...*shakes head and smiles*).
We moved our junk in on Father's Day weekend 2012. So, we've been here well over a year. The house is probably in worse condition than it was when we moved. I am hoping the adage of things need to get worse before they can get better is true. We knew it would be a lot of work, but Uff da!! One thing after another happens. But lately, we've been making progress with some projects.
Little by little, we will make her at least as close to as beautiful as she once was. We are hoping for better. It'll take much time and money (Come on, lottery! Oh wait, I have to buy a ticket first? Ha!) Come along for the journey, will you?
