House Hunting

As ive mentioned, weve been house hunting. So I thought i'd share some of the homes that have impressed (or scared us) the most.

 This is the farm that started all this madness. some stats:

9 acres, several barns, BEAUTIFUL property 2 miles from the daycare, even less to mom's house.Even a room for my photography studio!! LOVED this property...... until we got inside the house.

Cue dark music. Let us just say wet. A hole in the roof and been left for so long that one room had standing water on the wood floor. Can we say MOLD. We would have had to remove the floor and all the sheet rock in the house (circa 1935). I took pictures in the cellar (what there is of it, most of the house sits on a slab). part of the structure was rotten and sinking as well as damaged by termites. The upstairs was ruined by animals (feces & stains) and the house was wet from the roof to the cellar (insulation removal, roof repair etc.) one barn would have had to probably been removed and we found a pile of asbestos boards? in another that would have required special removal. Bathroom and all the windows sills were rotting (why someone would put in new windows and NOT fix the wood they sat in is beyond me) Long story short (and its a long story) we came to the conclusion that the house would either require ALOT of $$$$$ and work (and wouldnt be livable at first) or would need to be demolished. We decided agains the farm since we couldnt justify the cost and where the HE#$ would we live while fixing this place??? sigh.

Bye bye beautiful farm. 

I have 3 others (including the one we like best) to share with you soon :)
