ma & pa steel Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well, we'll be looking at a house this weekend, actually 2, it's a semi but dh wants to buy both sides and make it one house again. It IS georgeous, and together it will have about 2 acres of land. Only problems are 1) that's not ENOUGH land Anyway, if anyone wants to see the place(s) here's the links http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetails.aspx?v...pertyID=3900963 http://www.mls.ca/PropertyDetails.aspx?v...pertyID=4225428 Link to comment
Synn Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Looks really neat... Is semi there the same thing as what we call a duplex here? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 yes what does a semi mean? Link to comment
ma & pa steel Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 LOL, yes a semi and a duplex are the same thing, here a duplex is a house where one family lives above the other, and a semi is where one lives beside another, both all in one building. So the house has essentially been divided in half to form two 2 story houses in one. Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 you mean you have to share that with another family on the back side? oh I couldn't live like that. All the beautiful land shared? is the land divided? but what if they don't like goats or chiekens? NOPE! this is one battle I would wage against my husband. (I pick and choose them carefully) "Dear... have a nice life! but I ain't movin'!" of course I would have options and show him them. Land... maybe $40,000 and well... $20,000, power $10,000 and a mobile home or modular or a simple stick structure (garage size 24x24' becomes guest house later) $25,000. Now I am guessing at prices in your area but judging by the price os the houses you are looking at.. $70 needs work and $114 move in. see even the goats agree with me! Link to comment
ma & pa steel Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yes that is what it is, but both sides are for sale, he wants to buy BOTH sides so we would have all of it. As it is its all I can do to NOT dig my heels in. If it was any closer to MIL I can't say I wouldn't Link to comment
ma & pa steel Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well tonight I mentioned the viewing and dh said we might not go after all, some financial things seem to have come up and it's throwing some monkey wrenches into his plans......... Link to comment

Forgot to mention, I showed him MANY options, absolutly beautiful! One was beyond perfect, far from anything that any terrorists would care about (unless of course they wanted to take out all our moose in hopes of crushing our canadian spirit Link to comment
cartoongirl Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Goatladay, you are a very serious prepper from what I have read. As beautiful as that place was, it wasn't for you. We have 10 acres and live rural from a very tiny town. IOur home and land was cheap and although our home isn't the nicest I do enjoy having land and living in a very remote area and feeling much safer for it. Good luck, and stick to your guns. A move is a serious decision not something you can change in an instant once done. On the stress scale it is right up there with death and divorce. I'm sure this is no news to you. Best wishes.

gardnmom Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The best solution here may be for each of you to make a list of what will be acceptable to you in your home, including price, location, size, and acreage and condition. At least you will both have a better idea of what to look for. Link to comment
ma & pa steel Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh we've done that. He knows what I would like, what I would love and what I simply cannot tolerate. Unfortunatly he'll agree with me to keep me quiet and make his own plans anyway Link to comment
Kygal Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 then keep making noise!! Link to comment
