Well - I just got a call from a real estate agent - they have a house for me to look at -
I have been thinking about that - when I first met C I sold my home to move in with her - Had to put $2500 at closing to get out of the loan. After moving in w/ C I paid for a storage shed in back of the home - almost $2000. now I will have to put down about $5000 to get new home.
If C feels that she want to start working on things after I get started on my new home I feel that I should ask her to sell her home and move in with me since right now I don't feel I could trust her if I moved in wiht her again (or even if I would want to)
anyway - will look at house tonight and some others later and will see.
I went for it - made an offer and put down $1000 ernest money. We will see if they accept (I doubt it) or counter off which I expect they will do. I can go with the asking price tho so we will see how things go. the only problem is that my credit cards have gone up since the D and that may effect my loan application. my mortgage broker seems to think I am ok tho. Guess it is time to start filling out the paperwork for the loan app.
House is not bad tho - needs work but then I am halfway good at fixer uppers. it would give me something to do.
Well at least the ball is rolling - lets see if it picks up any speed
There is no way I have seen anything that nice up here with that much ground room around it for that price.
At least not close to town and I am almost to think now that I will be living alone some of them I have looked at that are out a ways or isolated I might not want to go that route right now.
I guess I don't know what I want to do, but it is neat that house is the same style I am looking at.
Wishing you luck!

That sure looks like a purdy house on the outside. Remodelling on your own sounds like a fun job and a great opportunity to get some more tools. Good luck odga.

well the pool is an above ground and the linner is split - there are weeds growing in the hot tub - I believe the cut out in the deck is the same size as my hot tub so I might be able to switch them. needs paint in all the rooms, etc, etc. but it is liveable now
The pool is an added plus too - C likes pools, course I am not getting it because of that - there are lots of other reasons for it - location to my office is only 10 minutes from one and about 25 minutes from the other
I think it is you! I hope you get it! Good Luck and let us know what happens. I'd say that is a nice price myself.
I too like fix-it-uppers. God knows I'm living in one! We bought our home on an auction and paid $28,000 for it and it is on 4.26 acres. The house is about a 100 yr old!
It still needs tons of work. I just wish I had my time but it really takes more money, something I'm short on, LOL.
I was out with my GF tonight. We went to see 3 dog night at a local outdoor ampitheater and were just leaving her place, just before 7pm and who should call on my cell phone but C. Timming was perfect tho, GF was in the RR and did not hear my cell ring. I have C set up for a destinctive ring so I knew it was her without even looking at the phone. I did not answer it and in fact turned the phone off and left it in the car till I was on the way home from my date.
I checked the Voice Mail and all she wanted was to know what time I was comming over tomorrow (really now it is today) and she said to call her back on her cell. So I called her cell to let her know when I was comming over and after it rang a few times I realized that it was midnight so I hung up. C called me back in a min and I told her that I got her message and that I would be there around 9:30 if that was ok and I said that I did not realize the time and was sorry for waking her up.
When I got home I noticed that C also called my home phone but not till 9:55 and she called from her home phone, but she did not leave a message.
I told C last week that I was going to hear 3 dog night w/ GF and she knew when I would be w/ her. Altho I feel she will deny it, I think that she called on purpose at that time.
Now I have a question. I bought a really nice tee shirt with 3 dog night on the front and "mama told me not to come" on the back along with some nice graphics. I was thinking of wearing it tomorrow but would that be rubbing her face in it? Maybe I should wear something else?
