House Search is on!

I couldn't believe it when we walked in this brand new home built in 2004, how trashed it was. Whoever had built it rented it out and whoever lived there did not take care of the house at all. All 3 bedrooms have carpet which is now stained very badly with dog poop and urine... gross I know. And the smell is awful. But the bright side is they are all pretty good sized rooms, and the master has a full bathroom and there's also one in the hallway. The living room, hallway, and dining room had hardwood floors. They dont look so great either, in each groove between boards it's black (as in dirt, and garbage) apparently they didn't believe in mopping either. Tony wants to rip it all up, becuase it looks awful anyway, and start new and fresh, which I agree with. He can do it himself which will save us tons of money. So we plan on putting harwood throughout the house except the kitchen and bathrooms. And lastly the kitchen has nothing. No cabinets, no appliances, but on a good note we can make it how we want it. Starting new and fresh.

We havn't put in an offer yet I believe we will be starting that process soon though, and I am hoping we get it for as low as possible (of course) so we can save money for updates and paint. It also has a 2 car garage, paved driveway, front porch, and 1 acre of land. It's on a dead end road we only have 1 neighbor on one side and its close to town but not in town. When and if we get it it should only take 3-4 weeks to fix up if we can get it all fixed in time. It's hard not to get excited but I really think God chose this house for us and that this is the one. There's no house that your going to find thats perfect unless you have lots of money, and we dont. We expected to do work and with this house we can make it our own. We will have the satisfaction in each room to say "we did that" and raise AJ in his first house! I'll keep everyone updated with pictures as we renovate and fix things I know it's going to be a complete 360 from what is now!
