Have you ever said 'I'm tired and I'm going in, just as soon ...'
Comments (15)... All the time. I never seem to know when to stop, even with hubby calling out the door "Time to come in now". When it's hot I pin a pillow slip with crushed ice in it around my neck. When it gets dark I turn on the outside lights, but try to come in by 10 PM so the lights don't bother the neighbors. I'd rather be outside than inside any ole' day and gardening gives me an excuse to be there. Incidentally, for insect bites Bob happened to notice that HEB brand antibiotic ointment has a topical pain reliever in it so it stops the itch of mosquito bites very nicely. Maybe other brands have it too. Well, almost time to put the rolls in the oven. My computer is right next to the kitchen so it's easy to take a little rest from cooking in that chair :-) Wishing you all a blessed Easter Sunday ......See MoreI'm never going to find a house! I'm too picky.
Comments (22)Hello, been lurking a bit. Lots of good info here, thanks. FWIW, I agree that if the things you can't change are right and there is room in the price to do the rest ... thats a pretty good place to be. I knew the minute we walked into our current home, it would be ours, more than 20 yrs. ago. We had looked at a few dozen as I recall but the search was over when we got here. Since then we've added several investment props to the pile and since last fall have been looking for a new joint for us. Found an REO that is the only house of hundreds that can tick off every item on our list. Trying to convince the bank that they should stop holding on to it has been frustraiting, aggravating, stressfull etc. but now it is finally fun. They are offering counters in less than 24 hrs. and moving proposed closing dates up. Still not moving as much in price as they'll need to yet but it is vast improvement. Guess submitting the roofing bid and the well test did the trick :-) It kinda feels like I'm the lone bidder. Its got great bones and for us, a great loc. (acerage close to where we need to be). Its way more than we need but the lot, loc. and subdivision are pretty near perfect. Some minor damage from the eviction but I'm pricing that in and will order the full blown insp. once we have a deal. I was at the auction, I know the number ... they might get it but I'm thinkin not. There is a lot of inventory out there....See MoreI'm so excited....my kitchen will soon look like a kitchen!!
Comments (2)Congrats! You must be very patient to be able to wait that long for your house to be done! I'm going nuts and it's only been 7.5 months! Take lots of pics when the cabinets arrive! Patti...See MoreOnly 25 today, yea! I'm done! Are you?
Comments (8)We have 300 kids, two separate pool areas for various swim teams from 7-10:00, going on, They do a good job herding them out of the lap pool, for us ladies, at 9:30. Always glad when school starts to we can reclaim the big pool! Then we have to get out as the lappers are standing there waiting on us to get out, as the lifeguards starts putting in the lap ropes as soon as class ends....See MoreJilly
