Daley Ponderings

As some of you know, we have been looking for a house for the last couple of months, and we think we have found one!  I asked a couple guys from church to come look at it today, and give their thoughts, and they generally approved.  Someday, I'll probably make the kitchen nicer (ie. an addition out the back) but for now, Heather says it is okay, and we'll make what the realtor called the "master" bedroom an office, and we'll sleep upstairs, which solves a space crunch issue for our bedroom.

We met one of the neighbors and chatted with him for a while - he and his wife have two daughters, ages 6 and 10.  They have lived there for eleven years, and filled us in with some details of the house, and the surrounding area.

So, we have to get approved for a mortgage, which has been more difficult than the first time around, but hopefully that will work itself out.

And it looks like there will be a smaller amount of work to do before we move in than we originally were estimating, and then after we have been there a while, we can see about other projects - there will probably some more substantial projects than we have done in this house, but we can wait on those for now. 

Google map (one downside of the house is that the online map places can't get directions to the house properly - the house numbers do a funny thing just before the house, which is probably the problem)
