Now that Christmas is behind us and we are looking into the next year, I just can't believe we are half way through January 2012 Already!
Hubby and I met with the home inspector yesterday on this house we are hoping to purchase. or should I say...this house that has great bones, but will be quite the project.
I told hubby yesterday, as we were walking through the house that this will be about 6 months of my life getting this place the way we want it.
I'm looking forward to it, but it's gonna test my skills as I'll have to do much of the work myself. He is confident that, together, we can make this home.
On the outside, it's a beauty, but there are big holes the walls, poorly executed projects from the previous owner that will have to be redone, and some tearing up of surfaces that will need to be repaired or replaced.
I like an adventure and a challenge. Once again, my blog friends with all of their knowlege and sharing will come in handy.
Our house in NY is supposed to be closed next week, we have the moving truck set to come and put our belongings in storage, and if all goes well, we will close on this house in PA by mid March.
God is good and faithful and cares even about these things.
That's the truth.
Blessings, we'll chat soon,

How exciting!! I know you will make this lovely house into your own. We have done all our own renos and we basically fly by the seat of our pants. Has worked just fine so far. :> ) Make sure you take lots of "before" photos. That is the one thing I regret that I didn't do. Then you can look back and see how you made a house into your loving home. ♥
