39 Fuller

Oh, perhaps I should have mentioned we closed on Fuller (finally). The day I signed my life away was the day we slept in our wonderful pillowtop mattress in our first [real] home! Moving in has been a slow process due to multiple jobs, logan, and school but it will look pretty good once we're fairly settled. We are homeowners. x2.

We are working on the 1.5 baths immediately (currently) and then stepping back and working on Logan. We may have to get another furnace though because the pilot light switches off quite frequently. Is this normal? Oh well, it's not ideal. Plus, it's pretty inefficient. As far as I'm concerned getting an energy efficient furnace now will spare us unprepared disaster (bills, the furnace dying) in the future. It will be difficult living at Fuller and daydreaming about renovations (the attic will be AMAZING finished, new kitchen, etc.) but we must remember that we have to finish & rent or sell Logan. Ugh. We do not have a good track history with self control and spontaneity. We'll see how this new project goes...

2 houses?

There have been a lack of posts due to the lack of activity at Logan. It's disheartening to watch all of our money disappear with little results. For the past month we've been waiting on an engineer's draft for repairing the house's structural issues and then waiting for someone to then carry out those plans. We are helpless.

Worse yet, we need someplace to live in 16 days. That being said, we are considering buying 39 Fuller Ave SE. This is a better location, a safer area, and a more impressive house. 39 Fuller needs work. A lot of work. However, it is move in ready. They have accepted our offer and we are scribbling up a purchase agreement tonight.

While it will be difficult not to concentrate fully on fixing up Fuller (except the master bath- that needs our immediate attention), we just need to fix up Logan. Also, in light of the circumstances, we are revising some of the previous plans we had for Logan. More on those details as we get closer!
