the house we might buy

Here it is! It's a cute, old, little house. You get inside and you know that there were sweet, old, little grandparents living there! I think that's one of the reasons I love it, it feels so homey.
Here's a shot in the basement. The cupboard on the left is a laundry shoot from the bathroom upstairs. The door to the right side of the picture leads to a big food storage room.
Here's a shot of the attic. There's a cute little fireplace up there too. I believe they used it as a family room for a while. The stairs leading up to it pull out of the ceiling and become a ladder, so it's a fun part of the house, sorry mom, you'll probably never see it.
The kitchen reminds me of a cabin. The cabinets are pretty solid. I love the counter space, and there are tons of cupboards. (The other 2 walls have more.) The oven doesn't work, so we'll need to replace that, oh darn!
These are the doors leading to the largest bedroom. As you can see it's not all that big, but the walls round up as they touch the ceiling like lots of old homes do. I think it looks really cool! I would have to make use of any sewing talents I have to quickly make some curtains for the see-through doors.
Here's part of the back yard. It goes back to the bushes in front of that other house. I don't know why, but it is all sectioned off into some sort of garden-like plots. We'd like to have grass though. The building we're standing by is the work shop. It's a fun little work space... but who knows what we'll do in it. Maybe Jason can think up a few projects.

I'm already thinking of ideas of how I would do the backyard if I were the one moving in - that is a really big backyard to have a lot of fun in. Let me know if you want anyhelp with it! The house looks fun too!

Yikes! That house is sooo much work! Is that worth it to you!? My suggestion is to find one that is move in ready and not THAT much work if you REALLY don't want to do it YOURSELF! But, good luck!
You should really consider living closer to me though!

Ummm, not so sure what you're referring to Heidi, because it IS livable right now. I like homes with a little bit of personality, which this one definitely has. In fact, I love this house! But, unfortunately for various reasons we backed out of our contract, so you'll never get to see how great of a place it is in real life.
