aw, go for it, Tracy
Thanx guys! We're both excited, and apprehensive as heck

We've long dreamed of an old home, and guess it's time to take the plunge. I've been "window shopping" for months now. Have looked at dozens of old homes all over the county. I'd find the right one, but in the wrong place, or the right one, in the right place, but wrong price, ect, ect. This one came up, just 2 weeks ago, I drove by it, and almost bought it on the spot. Right house, in a good neighborhood, for a good price. The electrical has been updated, a new roof is going on right now, and the home inspector said it's about as good a house of this age as he's looked at. Still needs tons of TLC, but basically a good solid old house.
I'm back in Washington now, packing up the household.(been down there working the past 4 months) We close here wednesday, close down there a week from Monday, and it's our, all ours!
