First Loves

I’m trying really hard not to get attached to the first house we looked at.

Oh we’ve kicked the tires on a couple other places, but we haven’t seriously considered anything after seeing that first place.

So we’re going back to look again. Only this time we come armed with family. My B-I-L and my father, armed with decades of construction experience, are going to help us look a little more objectively at the house we’re coveting.

They’ll be able to see beyond the future dream world of birthday parties, Christmas dinners and personal space we’ve constructed into the harsh reality of the now. The now where the plumbing leaks, the electrical needs work and that back porch is going have to be replaced. And all those things cost money.

Our biggest advantage. The house has been on the market for two months, with one price drop.

Mayhap the price has a little more flexibility left in it?
