Justice is Done!

Jump in the fire! We found a house, made an offer, and closed! Ups and downs abound, a few weeks late- but done! Supposedly it went smoothly, it was still emotionally exhausting. I’ll spare you the details of the buying process; lets cut to the meat of this hush puppy-

  • Built 1945 – added onto in the 50′s & 60′s
  • ~1800 square feet
  • 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas
  • large garage
  • large corner lot with big, old trees
  • pool
  • character-a-plenty

    • This is part of a work log documenting the victories and failures of the queen’s empire.

    I introduce to you- THE HOUSE!


    The house isn’t perfect, but that’s part of the appeal. There is a lot of room for updating, the lady we bought it from had lived there since she and her husband had it built in the 40′s, which is nice. There are some problem areas with some minor/major wood rot that need to get addressed pretty quick, but its been kept up well over all. The electrical is another area that is a little scary. I think her husband was a bit of an electrical hobbyist, as there are signs of an old rather Rube Goldberg alarm system and possibly an old DIY 1960′s style sprinkler system, though we’re not sure exactly. Lots of extension cords plugged into extension cords plugged into 6 port expanders plugged into light sockets. One room’s wall outlets were actually powered by an extension cord that ran into the room next to it.

    Anyhow, be sure to keep checking back, as I will be adding posts on interesting items found in the house and projects we take on.

      Very nice… do you have enough room for a nice little old lady? Looks like a lot of outdoors work is going to go into caring for the house. Going to hire someone or do it yourself? I’ll be looking forward to inside pictures.

      Love you!

      That is a gorgeous looking house & property. It sounds like you’re in for some adventures on the utilities side of things. I love the yard.

      Btw, if you want to indent your bulleted lists a bit, some declaration like:

      div.entry li {
      margin-left: 20 px;
      }

      …should work. Cheers buddy.
