Hello friends,
We have been keeping the big news mostly to ourselves for a few weeks now. This is not for lack of desire to share the happiness with you all, but more due to a need to let it sink in for ourselves. The new reality has mostly set in, and can largely be described as “a lot of problems we are happy to have”. The seller’s agent handed us the keys on May 4th, smiled wryly, and said “Good luck!” The house has been a rental for at least 10 years and, according to the neighbors, it’s been much longer than that since it’s had any updates inside or out.
There is a lot of work to be done to make this place feel like home, and we’re excited to share this adventure with you! We’ll be updating here with our progress every week as we remake this place, room by room. Tune in next week for the start of project one: Laundry Room!
Congratulations! Home ownership is so much harder to acheive these days. It’s worth the persistence and work!
It will be so worth the work. When you finally get to move in, the place will be like new.
