I'm also scared out of my mind. I bought this place for very little money, as is, knowing that there would be lots of work to do over time. But, the price was right, the location is ideal for me, the house has lots of potential, and I've never been one to do things the easy way. So, I've jumped in with both feet.
Built in the early 1980s, or thereabouts, this cottage was handbuilt and has it's quirks. For various reasons, I did not get a full home inspection until the day after I bought it. It was an "as is" sale and so was not required and it's owner financed as well. But I didn't jump in blindly. I had a couple of contractors out to check it over and kick the tires, so to speak. I knew the To Do list would be long.
And so my journey begins . . .
Is there something that resembles a heating system?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on becoming a homeowner again! Your cottage looks very cozy and peaceful. What became of the home you used to own with your ex-husband? Do you think it’s sold by now?

I’m two years too late, but congratulations all the same! I agree with Domingo; I’m sure that this must have been quite scary to take on, but what’s important is that you were able to buy the house at the price that you were happy with, and that you were able to turn it into a home. I hope that you’ve been very happy in your new home.
