And so it begins

We have put a bid in on a house. It is the house we originally looked at last Octber. We have spent the last 4 months trying to find something better for us and have now decided that there just isn't anything better. At least we will know we didn't just buy the first thing we looked at. Altho it would have saved us a lot of trouble.

The house is in the country with a treed lot. it is 720 sq feet and was buiult in 1951. It is on 1.19 acres.

720 sq feet and 1 bathroom. wish us luck there.

It is trashed of course but solid. And we can afford it and afford to fix it up. We will be able to avoid a mortgage which has been one of our main goals.

I ordered a subscription to mother earth news this morning.

If all goes well we will close by the end of September.

Expect ALOT of pictures.
