Some pics my wife took.
This is about the worst of it and it doesnt scare me in the least. It needs a good trimming with a chain saw all the way around to get rid of the unwanted brush and shrubs. |

Well, the yellow police tape is a little bit scary...
But aside, best of luck with your purchase, sir! --Vince

Yeah but the chalk outline is gone so it's not to disturbing anymore.
No they just taped off that area where the back steps used to be and also the ground is a bit rough right there. The back where the siding(T1-11) is is open and critters can get in there right now.That would be one of the first projects redoing that back wall. |

Looks good for the money. In the first picture is that a slab for a garage?

Thats what I had thought but then one of the guys I work with seen what looks like a chunk of carport anchoring metal so it probably was a carport.
I may pop a carport up on the slab asap if we get it and then box in the 3 sides but I dont like how close it is to the house. I keep thinking how nice it would be to walk out the back door and go about 75' back to an RC track and run the cars/trucks around. I dont even run them around my house here because I dont want every kid to bug me and get idea's of borrowing them. |

A satellite image from google map.The smaller picture on right is my current home.(same scale on google maps)
This a shot of where I work well its the yard I work out of because the whole city is my work area.(having fun with google maps) I worked here for 12 years it is a private country club that used to have 72 acres but the idiots sold off the chase lane area and now it isnt really much of anything. |

This is the house I had bought in Saskatchewan for about $12,000 Canadian...
I wound up deciding not to move half way across the country though, where I knew no one and had no job.... I sold it and pretty much broke even with the costs all considered... About half of what I used as a down payment for my apartment mortgage here :? The same thing here would probably be $200 - $300 K I would have to guess...

Thats a small house but good enough I suppose.I think you made the right choice.
My sister wanted me to move out to denver years ago and its nice out there but that was a bit much for me.Most of my family is here and my sister even moved back here. Denver is strange to me because I am so used to seeing water everywhere here and out there it just isnt around like it is here. If we get that house it will be a short 5 minute drive to the next city and the move will be very easy.(1.79 miles as the crow flies) |

Yeah that will definitely be nice....
That house I think was 1200 sq ft, it would have been ok, but the area was a big change... From BC here, with lots of mountains, the ocean, and everything near by, out into the prairies, population 500 in the town, and an hour from anywhere else. When do you figure you will hear back about that one? BUG, that place does look good in the after photos, a job well done.

Maybe today but most likely tuesday.
Today is presidents day so I have it off but I'm not really sure what else is open today. It really is down to agreeing on a price right now and hopefully there are no other offers on it, I dont want to get into a bidding war. We are going over there today and meeting some friends there they want to check it out. I have been sick the last 4 days or so and still feel lousy. |

TC,
Sounds really exciting! Nice to have some room to play. No mortgage is an enormous advantage, too. We bought a fixerup on the Balto City line (county side) years ago for 45 and had to gut it. We've got a really nice place now and love WV. Cost of living is about half of what it was in MD. No more Balto-DC corridor rat race to deal with!

Well we are getting closer we just got the call and they accepted our offer of $12,750.
Now we have 10 days to get an inspection and check on a few more items. If we end up with this and get rid of our current house we'll have no mortgage payment.YIPPEE No large chunk of change hanging over our heads to pay too a bank. (it probably means everyone who has a mortgage will get huge tax breaks- :roll: ) |
