It's more like "Yes, this is 18.5...Tanita. It's more like "Yes, this is 18.56% mine, and the bank still owns majority share, but they let us live here and drive nails into the walls, paint things, etc."<br /><br />The project plans for the place are of two types: those we'd like to do just because, and those that make themselves out of necessity. And most of them are quite expensive. But there are lots of little things to do as well, because the previous owners were really slack about upkeep (they were absentee landlords). We pick away at the stuff that we can easily do without a lot of cash outlay and our own labour (like cutting trees and tree branches that have grown into the clothesline), and we'll get to the big stuff as we can. But all in all, it's a pretty okay place, and we have lots of room. I'm just glad that I've got a lot of tools and am handy at most of the kinds of work required to get it ship shape.mira's papanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-75846408503735696872012-05-18T07:46:59.945-03:002012-05-18T07:46:59.945-03:00It IS wonderful!

There is a good sized oak in the front that shades the front bed.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077639.post-77040585236507816882012-05-18T03:58:24.397-03:002012-05-18T03:58:24.397-03:00I'm so happy for you that you own this house -...I'm so happy for you that you own this house - it must be so nice to think, "Yes.
