Today's the day
 

In four hours I will be sitting down to sign papers for my new house, it's been a long road to get to where we are today. I've lived in a trailer all my life so this will be my first real house and my first time having steps, hopefully I don't fall down them to many times.:biggrin2:. I'm excited for my boy's, they are both going to get nice big rooms and there is an extra room next to the living room which is where all their toys will be. They will get to go to the same schools which was something we really wanted, this house is one of the last houses in the corner of the school district and as close to work as we could get without switching schools. This house is only 3 miles from my current residence so I've passed it everyday on my way to work for the last 10yrs. I will be sure to post up some pics of the house and yard later.

Congratulations Tim! :beerchug:

Congrats Tim! :beerchug:
I had kinda the same move, I moved 1.25 miles out to the farm.
I hate moving so much that I kept the old house. :biggrin2:

Ahhhh, nothing like a house that is soon on its way to becoming a "home"!!! A place where you can hang your hat and have that feeling that your hard work is worth all of the effort to plant your roots. Congratulations!!!! Soon, you will officially become a "home" boy. Let us know when the deal is done so we can come check out your crib and hang in your hood..:biggrin2:

Happy "new beginnings" in your house Tim!!!:beerchug: Sounds like you did your homework before buying.

Cub Cadet 123

AWESOME!!:beerchug: Now, throw everything away and start over. Wish I had when I moved my future bride in to our home. :bash::BlahBlah::BlahBlah:

Great news, Tim! Enjoy your new house. :beerchug:

Congratulations Tim.

Congratulations! Do you have any yard to mow/take care of?

It's .7 acre, it's about the same size as what I have now.

I thought GRASS was the only reason for buying a home?? :bigthink:

REMEMBER,, PICS!!,,or it did not happen,,, :biggrin2:

Congratulations Tim.

Congrats! Now we need pics. :beerchug:

Thats great about the house, but more importantly, is there a garage?? Congrats!

Detached!!?? :bigthink:

Good deal for you and your family. :beerchug:

You gonna be able to move that shed of yours?

No garage but it does have a shed that will hopefully hold 6 Cub's and my shed will be going with us. Here's some pics.

Nice!! Walk out basement??:bigthink:

Yep. The basement goes on forever! No if only the door were big enough to get Cub's in.:bigthink:

Good deal!!!

That is why god invented backhoes,,, :bigeyes:

:biggrin2:

Beautiful house Tim! Congratulations.

Congrats :beerchug:

Your home is very welcoming Tim, Nice flat property, and for the small door opening, that is what headers and a concrete cutting saw are for.
Congrats and welcome to the home ownership club.

Congrats on the new home Tim.:beerchug:

I bet the boys & the wifey are happy campers too.

That’s real nice Tim. Beautiful place and love the porch. I see Mary is watching over the place as well. I also see hydroponics.......:biggrin2:

Congrats to you and the family on the new crib Tim.:beerchug:
Looks very inviting. I'm diggin the porch too. Can you pee off the back porch, without being busted by the neighbors?:biggrin2:

Congratulations Tim! It is a very pretty home. :beerchug:

Congratulations! Looks very nice!

Congratulations Tim. :beerchug:

Thanks everyone. I got three truck loads of stuff over there last night but hardly put a dent in the pile of stuff I have to move. Friday I plan to rent a box truck to take over the bigger stuff but until then I will move what I can with my pickup. The kids went crazy when they saw the house, hopefully I can get beds moved tomorrow so we can make it official.

Congratulations on the new house. It looks nice!

Congrats Tim. Kinda like the old farm house i bought in 1981. I even sided it that color yellow. Had been my friends grand parents as we grew up. Stayed there 8 years till we moved a 100 miles south. Mike

Great looking house, Tim!

Congrats on the house!

I forgot to mention something really cool about the house. A lot of the bricks for the pillars on the front porch have "made in the USA" cast into them. I will try to get a pic later if I remember. The original house was built in 1935 and all the interior doors are solid wood and the door hinges are cast iron with a flower pattern cast into them. The doors are painted right now but I would like to strip the doors and frames and stain them and also powder coat the door hinges in black or an antique brass color.

Here's the pic.

Nice place Tim. Congrats

looks like your bricks are on backwards...

Good old hydronic heat + I saw a gas meter in your pic yesterday. Pretty hard to beat a natural gas boiler heating system.:clap: Very nice Tim.

Tim looks great Congratulations !
