This maybe our new home.

We had viewed this home before but things seemed kind of dim for financing it, so we put it out of our minds for the present, and thought to go the cheaper route, which was moving onto the Mithchell's land. However when we took our Pastor and his family, who are also looking for a home in the area, out to see this place our desire to live there was renewed. Mike completely forgot that he had told me to forget pursuing this house, and when the Pastor asked us why it was that we didn't buy it, Mike turned to me with such a quizzical look on his face, and had to ask me that question.

So Mike let me loose on the trail of research, and things are looking better for us to be able to buy this house. Though the house is a 28x76 double wide, it is the double wide we dreamed about living in during our search for our first home. This is the kind of double wide that you walked into and just thought about what you could do with all the space, then walked back out knowing you where stepping back out into reality.

The walls are not your typical post board, they seem to be sheetrocked, with almost like a stucco paint on them. The doors are defintely a better quality than in most mobile homes. The amount of space is phenominal to us, at least doubling any home, or apartment, that we have every lived in. It has four bedrooms, and two full baths. It also has a very open floor plan with two living room areas, and a very open dining and kitchen. To be honest I'm not sure that I have enough stuff to fill all the cabinets in the kitchen. I guess in time I will. It has really great closet space. It also has a nice patio entrance to the front door, and a nice large covered deck to the back door.

The land itself is not much to sneeze at since it is the desert, but it is potentialy already set up to handle a pair of goats, and a handful of chickens. It is out in the country, away from the busy city, and there are lots of open lots that have not houses on them.

There is a bit of clean up we need to do but with us all working together it really shouldn't take us that long.

This seems like the idea place for our family. We are waiting to see if God will work it out for us. I have more pictures of the home and the land here http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/baabaamilker/my_photos under "New Home". I know that they will not give a very good picture of how the house is laid out, and they will probably all seem the same after a while. If I can I'll ask Mike if he can draw out a floor plan I can post so that everyone can get a better idea of how the house is laid out.

Hope you enjoy seeing the photos though, and be sure to post a quick comment if you have the time, we would love to hear from you all.
