Goose Liver Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I thought I would start a new topic that would be for house news. Spitty spot, any news about your sale, or your new house, Bleb, anything about yours. Anyone else join in. All the rest of us will be active listeners and offer our sound, wise opinions, ha ha ------------------ Quote Link to comment

logcabinmama Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I am so happy for you Spit-Spot. Beb, I hope you can find what you really want and at a price you can afford. Just a thought, have you checked the internet out for homes in your area? I know there are places where you can see them. Good luck to both of you and anyone who is looking for a new home. ------------------ Quote Link to comment

logcabinmama Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 So cute, Brigie. Of course we will come and visit. Just put pictures on the net and we will see what you are doing. Love to go through homes and see how they are done. Old Pine, the kids and I would spend time going through new homes just looking when we were living in CA. That was our intertainment on some Saturday and Sunday afternoons. There is a very old home in town that was for sale a couple years ago. I told Old Pine I wanted it, but we sure didn't get it. It has a balcony on the second floor and is just a nice looking home. There is another one in town that I would love to own too. It has 3 floors, I lived there before we were married. There were 2 apartments in it and 2 rented out bedrooms. So, it is a nice BIG house. Has a beautiful screened in porch too. I just love those screened in porches. Have fun packing, I know it will take time. Just hurry and get there and get back on line, Spit-Spot. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Goose Liver Posted November 16, 2002 Author Share Posted November 16, 2002 Ditto Smommy....... My mom and dad love to go looking at new houses on the weekend. They get great ideas for their own house. Cleaning these new houses lately gets me into a lot of new homes and it is interesting to see the new designs. I haven't seen one that I would like yet.... probably for the best because I couldn't afford any of them. One was going to 400,000.00,,,, ------------------ Quote Link to comment
