Interesting Development

Huh. Had an interesting talk with one of the "caretakers" of Paradise.

We were discussing the problem of re-sealing the basement wall. They're going to fix it. No issue there at all.

What was interesting is he was telling me they (the church that owns this home) are not sure what they are going to do with it.

You see, they originally bought this place to tear it down. The church is growing and they thought that they would need the extra land to expand. But that wasn't going to be for another 7-10 years.

But...now they're not sure that's what they want to do. Sometime in the next year or so they are thinking they may just want to sell.

I cannot tell you what that did to my sanity. My first thought was Oh Dear Lord, not again. Not now.

Well, seems they want to sell to me. Huh.

I'm in no position to even think about contemplating the possibility of purchasing anything bigger than a television right now. But in a year? Yeah. I could do it in a year. Yeah, I could.

How 'bout that? It's kinda freaky.

I just love this place. If I owned it, I could fix the things that bug me, they are few and far between, and it would be nigh near perfect. It just breaks my heart to think of them tearing this place down.

And I can tell you, they must be serious. I've been told I can paint all I want. Change any light fixtures I want. Take down wall paper.......In other words, I've got a green light to really settle in.

So - there's that. Kind of an interesting twist. Again.

Nothing changes, but then again nothing stays the same........

Just never know what you'll encounter in the next bend in the road, eh? ;)

Wow! You and that house must be meant for each other. :)

Tammi,
If you are thinking of buying the house, run yourself a credit report. I think you can run them for free online now. It may take you 6 months to purge any mistakes that are currently showing up. I was blind-sided by the report, when I was ready to buy my first home.
