orangerfulSo, still no house yet. We've struck out 3 times.
First one we really liked but it was built in 1985 and was on septic and had never been updated. We decided this made us too nervous, that the odds of things breaking were too high for our budget to handle.
Second one we LOVED the house, the yard was huge but it was in the most random part of Glen Burnie on a little street in a development that I think was abandoned in 2002, with just a handful of houses and the next community over was sketchy. These people had dropped it $50,000 and no one had bought it yet and we wondered why...
Third one was GORGEOUS, good location but...way out of our price range. And it was too nice to even pretend to haggle because it was probably worth more than it was listed for.
So last night we drank a bottle of wine and ate an entire thing of Hagen Das ice cream and then today Tim bought himself a new phone (his was dying) and got suckered into the "free" tablet. I went ahead an ordered myself the set of Funko Fantastic Mr Fox Legacy figures that were on sale at Entertainment Earth.
We've got a few more houses on our "look at" list but this week has been too busy.
