Home Owners

It is true. David and I are home owners... now that sounds fine and dandy but wait until you see the house. It is a huge "fixer-upper". It is our way of trying to invest. We got a great deal on the house and we are putting some money into to fix it up and repair the damage in the walls. It is termite damage.
It is a little less than 1000 square feet but we will be adding on to that. It has a decent yard and a great big tree. Below are the before pictures and we are hoping that over the next 60 days we will be able to put up some "after" pictures.
The closing was horrible. Nothing went smoothly, the insurance, the seller, it was all chaos and I am glad that it is over. We did it and I am hoping that the next time will go a little smoother and I am a little more educated about the whole process.

Congratulations! HOpe the renovations go smoother than the closing.

Super cool big tree. Does it's huge root system interfere with your foundation?

I wish we were there to help.
Good luck and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

BTW we all need a baby update.
