On March 11th after several months of going back and forth with "should we buy it", or "no we shouldn't", we put an offer on the Larsen's home just a few blocks from our current home. We have always loved this home and hoped that someday we might be able to buy it. Four days later we found out that they had accepted our offer. We were overjoyed and I made the comment that we had just bought the home we would die in. Other people said maybe we should say, "we just bought the home we would live the rest of our lives in". I guess that sounds a little bit better. After all the due diligence and inspections were complete, we signed the contract on April 5th and the home was ours. It is a beautiful rambler with a wonderful big backyard. The very next day, Larry our builder and crew began demolition on the things we wanted to remodel. Here are the pictures of the home as we saw it while trying to decide whether to buy it.

Sunroom, my personal favorite room, although the photo is not the best.

This area is across from the kitchen and we plan to have a large table here.

We call this the motorhome bathroom.
Master Bedroom
Three pictures of the backyard.
Basement family area and fireplace. Somehow I missed a picture of my favorite room, the big craft room with a full wall of shelves for sewing, painting, and crafting supplies. Within a week things changed dramatically. My next post I will should the beginning of the remodeling pictures.
