Closed last Friday.. finally, after a couple of delays from the sellers.
Haven't been on much, have been busting arse trying to get this place ready..
we know we have a lot of work ahead of us, but should be nice when we get finished.
Some of the paint, wallpaper in this place is 'god awful'

Egads the wallpaper.. I'm Blind!

In Progress

Nice looking house. It's has a very unique roof. I hope you saved the wallpaper. It was cool

. We looked at a couple of houses that were decorated like that. It takes a lot to look past those kind of things when buying.

The unique roofline and deep eaves is what attracted our attention to it at first, it reminds me of the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Style. It is in Bay Minette , just outside of the city limits, about 5 minutes away from where we are now. Been busting our tail, I'm so tired right now, it hurts to type. It needs a lot of things done, but we'll get there eventually. We liked the little house we're in, just outgrew it..

Example: Look at these two bedrooms, (What is wrong with this picture?)

70's wallpaper in Master Bathroom.. Gag!

It has its good points also.. good bones, nice lot, its big.. just needs some tlc.

I think you should leave the YMCA looking paint on that one room and put some workout equipment in there and some mirrows on the walls. It just reminds me of a gym.

or you could put some cardboard on the floor and use it as your break dancing room.

How many square feet total ?

I second the break-dancing room!

We are trying to get the closing done on our first house now. It is the most rewarding feeling I have ever had, of course we havent made any babies yet so that might top this.

Hot-chicks room - and if you never watched Upright Citizens Brigade you will not get the joke.

2900sq ft for the house and 800 for the garage.

We won't have a hot chicks room but we will have a bird room, is that close enough

Closing is sooooooo nice - we closed Last Friday and to celebrate, we packed stuff up and moved it over there. LOL
