The Possibilites In Wylie

Yes, it's a big step, but I found a "fixer upper" in Wylie.

The first time I drove by it, I was on the way to my Mom & Dad's RV. My first thought, what a dump. Late winter and there was no grass, and the left over debris from the last home owners was about the yard and house. But oh the view from the back yard!!

But spring is a time for renewal and pictures can be deceiving. Here's a peak at the front of the house.

It's really quite a charming little house, it has some very nice features and a bunch of possibility.

I've been price shopping for refrigerators, flooring and the usual. We were hunting through surplus building supply stores for bamboo flooring ( I'm trying to go green) and I found this awesome door in Richardson off of Arapho. Can't you just see this door on the front of the house? There's no way I can afford this now, but it's on the list for a potential upgrade in the distance future. Now if I can just find windows to match.

I still have to wait for closing and that's not scheduled until next month. There's the move out of the apartment. I did find a place online that delivers recycling moving boxes and comes and buys them back when you are done. Is that awesome or what?

The plan is to pack all of the stuff we don't use much and put it into storage, moving the big items on "moving day". I'll go back to the storage in a few weeks after the big moving day and get the rest of our accumlated life's treasures.

What pulled me in? It's the view from the back of the house.
