Wow, what a week it has been. I made a huge decision of buying a house before mine sold. I am retired, I can't afford two houses, two water bills, two power bills........ Mine is up for sale and I figured out how many payments I can make out of my savings before I have a problem. I forgot about all the fees they charge to buy and sell a house geeez! But the house of my dreams, that I first saw at the age of 18, came on the market and I just know it is the house for me. But I do have to keep telling myself "deep breath, deep breath". I had a contingency contract that would have allowed me to sell my house first but another couple decided to place a contract on it, knowing I had a contract on it, and I had to counter offer by removing the contingency. On the bright side, I will be able to move at my leisure and with the help of my friends. The cost of the fees would have probably been used for professional movers (I am moving a whopping 13 miles) as I would have had to move within a 24 hour period.
The new house has a Florida room that is long and narrow and will be the perfect place for my longarm machine. There is a huge back bedroom with no closets or connected bathroom and will make the perfect sewing room. It has 4 bathrooms which means 4 toilets to clean ;o(. It has a large garage and two buildings for great storage. It was built in 1948 and has the original cast iron enamel double sink and metal cabinets that look new. It is awesome. The best thing about it is that it is a block away from my church and family. I am so blessed and hopefully my house will sell, if not I can always go back to work ;o(
