holy cow, we have a house.......

Yes, ladies and gents, it's true, 6 and a half weeks after sending our initial offer in, we are in contract to purchase 201 Prospect Ave. Mechanicsburg, Ohio, 43044. We don't have a closing date yet, but we're really hoping to close by the end of the month. It's a foreclosure, it was built in 1995, about 1100 sqare feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It also has a full unfinished basement (man-cave, anyone?) The house is built on a hill, so the basement has a walkout in the back, which we love. We have a ton of work to do, but we are blessed with many wonderful skilled friends who are more than willing to help us. Basically, we'll need to tear out all the carpet and all the vinyl in the kitchen and bathrooms. So new flooring through-out, tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. Also, we're going to paint the whole inside, after we get the walls patched up. We have tons of things we'd like to do to the place eventually, but the flooring and paint is priority before we move. Also getting the roof patched up. We are really excited to be home-owners, and we feel very blessed to find this new of a house for a very reasonable price, and also we were able to get a really good interest rate. So here's a few pics of the place. We have some cleaning up to do on the outside too, but just think "potential" So if anyone is interested in getting your hands dirty that I havn't talked to yet, just let me know, and I'm sure we can put you to work.












































Mabri is doing great, walking and climbing over everything, and jabbering like crazy. She loves playing with her friend Addy, they don't always share the best, but we'll work on that. She's excited about the new house, might not know it yet, but she is. So that's what's happening in the Miller family, more pics will appear of the house as it's worked on. Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend.
