Keep us in prayer

Postby Pastor Bill » October 7th, 2010, 4:06 am

Well we're taking that step, it probably isn't as major to many of you who have been through it, but this is an older home that needs a lot of work, but we may get it for next to nothing, and could easily triple it's value and have it paid off in a few years. Then again it's a big step and a little scary!

Praying for you and the decissions that you are making. TW could no doubt give great advice on those fixer uppers. From his photos looks like he is doing a fantastic job.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

Ohh a Project. Cool.

Determine the level of demo in advance... and go after the critical living areas first. Meaning that before you move into it ( if renting ).. be sure to bring these critical areas functional.

Not a lot of land, but I am pretty sure it backs up to National Forest land, which is open for hunting, I've hunted some private land less than a mile back from it (the land changed hands and no one was allowed to hunt it last I heard, but today I talked to the grandson of the man who owns it now, and it sounds like it may be open to me again as well. Youth season is this weekend, and I'm planing on taking Daniel out to a pretty good place most people don't know about.

Actually it's "livable" now, but would probably appraise as "fair condition". There are a few things that I would definitely want to do before moving in (a couple of interior door missing, and the counter and possibly cabinets in the kitchen are rough and should be replaced, one bedroom should have paneling or drywall put up, it's press wood right now, but others are paneling that is in good shape. it's no castle, but unless there is somethings we've missed, we're getting it for a steal and with some work it will make a nice home. 4 bedroom 2 bath, on about an acre. 5 miles from my parents, probably 6 miles from town, only 1 mile off the main road, but the rear of the property backs up to National Forest land and it's private and fairly secluded, but there are also neighbors fairly close.

Having just gone through (actually still in) this process I can tell you first hand you will continue to find "projects." My best wishes for you, and congrats.

we went back over last night and went through the house a little closer, a few things I assumed would need done really weren't bad, and will just be some minor repairs, still plenty of projects, but things are looking good.
