Exciting!

This weekend is going to be very exciting for us. We are going to make an offer on a house that we've been keeping our eye on for the past month. Alton has been trying to sell our 1971 Cutlass, so that we would have some extra funds in our bank, and it finally sold this week!!! So Sunday we will make an offer. The house is an old farm house with 10 acres. It has been almost completely remodeled and it has four out buildings! The property is beautiful and the school district is really good! So keep your fingers crossed for us that we get it! We are starting with a very low bid, so they will counter offer no doubt. The house is in foreclosure, so the owners are anxious to be out from under it, so we'll see what happens! The one problem is that it is going to need some work before we can move into it, because the owners moved to Florida, and their real estate agent never went there very often--the heat was turned down so low that the base board heating pipe in one of the upstairs bedrooms froze and burst causing water to fall onto the downstairs living room ceiling making all the drywall fall on the carpet. thank goodness Alton is a plumber and can fix all that himself! Plus get the parts he needs free in the process! I'll keep you posted on what happens!!
