The house on 663 in Midlothian is still in play. We had the inspection done last Wednesday and on Thursday we cancelled the contract. Almost everything that could be deficient (roof, foundation, electrical, septic) - was. While walking away was hard - we definitely don't have the $$ to do all of the renovations that we want to do AND repair everything and STILL pay 190K for the place...
We got a call on Saturday from Ronnie explaining that the seller had no idea there were so many issues with his house and didn't want us to think he was trying to pull one over on us. He agreed to make all the necessary repairs as well as accept 180K, still pay 10K towards closing... YAY!!!!! Now... before anyone gets too excited - we haven't rec'd this in writing yet - I won't believe it til I see it. ANNNNNNNNNDDDD we still need a buyer for our house in Keller.
A few pics from our last visit out there:
This is where we are going to build a 'mud room' and attache the house to the garage (which will become living space)...
The kids getting familiar with one of the horses - front pasture:
The back pasture - we haven't walked yet - but soon enough!
This is just an old tree that I thought looked neat - we'll probably have to cut it down...
Little Man Holt headed in to spread his muddy feet around!!
The drive:
Now just pray it all works out! Much love! Heather
