Waiting and waiting and waiting.....

Well, we put a bid on a house. I know Monte and I are kind of rushing but… Monday is the deadline for rural development loans. I really like the house. It isn’t as perfect as the other house was but this has 3 acres to compensate. It is also in the middle of nowhere  Our nearest neighbors are about a mile down the road.

The interior needs a decorator’s touch, but has the potential to be really nice. It was last decorated in the ‘60s and has the yellow green carpeting to prove it. It is big too. It has a formal dining room, family room, living room, kitchen, utility room, 1 bath and 6 bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are extremely tiny so the one downstairs will most likely be turned into an office/library and the other will be turned into a walk in closet.

The electric has all been redone recently and it has a newer energy efficient boiler. I’m kind of excited about the hot water heat… I hate dry heat. The down side is there is well water and a septic tank. The health department tests well water for free and I can get a Brita filter for the taste.

Besides that the house has a 3 car garage and there is a trailer on the property. The trailer will be sold immediately  (and will hopefully finance our redecorating and any repairs) and the land is mostly flat and treeless. There are some pine trees that surround the house. There is plenty of room for a pumpkin patch and huge garden.

All in all it will be a great place for Monte, the kids and I to settle. Lets just hope everything works out. I feel a bit worthless not being able to do anything but wait.
