We got one!

After months and months of searching we found it! Its perfect! Its beautiful! I love it!

Thats a lie. all of them. lies.


Its awful! I hate it! Its really, really, REALLY ugly! But thats ok, because in my head I see a different house. I see a house thats renovated, and beautiful with lots of our hardwork put into it. Something that we built together and that I can love.

Thats it! Mint green, with black shutters, gutters, and doors. A roof that needs A LOT of help and its fair share of other issues. 

Like this awful wall texture.

Awful.

I like to call it 'thousand smashed spiders plastered on a wall.'

Don't forget the lovely texture on the ceiling. 

Or the random hole in the ceiling!

Then theres this room. This used to be a car port. Not too shabby right? 

Extra living space, 

A fire place,

lots of natural light, 

Except, no. That fire place is fake, it has a gas line that comes from God knows where, and vents to nowhere. Its not even attached to the wall!!!

Most of those windows don't have a either a screen, or a flat glass panel, or both! 

and the whole room is on a slope, because they never leveled it out to make it a reasonable part of the home. The fact of the matter is that the front of the room is actually 6 inches lower the the ground outside. Which means there is a lot of moister in the front of the room and it isn't really useable. 

Some times I shake my head and wonder why we bought this house but then I remember the house I see in my head and know that soon that house will be mine.
