The rebound house
When one door closes, a window opens?
Right. so. I think I've made it clear than we (me in particular) are crazy people. If I have not yet convinced you of this…read on.
We are going to go look at another. giant. old. house. tomorrow.
ha ha ha ha. What, 3 days after losing the dream farm house?
It's our rebound house. The first one dumped us. Kicked us to the curb. So now we are going to see someone better. and bigger.
It's so big it's funny. Seriously, ( I like to say seriously) our current bitty home is about 1100 sq.ft. I told you it was small. The one we are going to look at tomorrow is almost 4400 sq. ft. Ha ha ha ha. It is just us 3 and we are almost always in the same room together. That'd be one big empty house, huh? The price is really low. We are curious. Something must be really wrong with it.
It is an 1882 Victorian. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. Did I mention 4400 sq. ft? All of our furniture would fit into maybe 2 rooms of this place. funny. It isn't a farm house. It's in a small town about 2 hours from us. I'm not really impressed with the what I've read about the town or area, but I'll save my judgements for tomorrow.
So we thought it'd be fun to take little (short) road trips to see any houses that sparked our interest and maybe we would find the perfect house, come closer to deciding on some features we really want to have in our next home, or discover a town or area that we really liked to further pursue house hunting in. That's this week's plan anyway. So, I'll post some photos of the rebound giant house when we get back. I don't know if you all love looking in houses, but I do. If you don't, my blog may start to bore your pants off. Sorry 'bout that.
My neck is still not being nice to me, so I have done nothing crafty in 2 weeks! I have projects lined up and waiting though, so maybe next week. Don't give up on me yet.
