Default We "Bought The Farm"

Well, we did it. We signed a sales agreement yesterday and it got countersigned by the sellers. It's official. We bought 7 acres in the country, close to half way between Lansing, MI, where LadyT is now working, and Portage, MI, where I currently work. This takes ONE HOUR out of LadyT's commute EACH WAY!!!.

It's a small farm. It's an estate sale, and until last winter, had 5 head of steer. It has 7 kinds of apple trees, a small vineyard, 6 acres of pasture, a pole barn, paved drive, full basement,.....and probably the nicest part, it's in the beautiful rolling hills of southern Michigan, only 3 miles out of the nearest village

Here is a link of my photobucket album just for this house:

And even a vegetable stand out front:



Check out the link above for many more pics of our new home. We should be moved in by the middle of November.

God is good, ALL THE TIME!

Congratulations! Looks like a beautiful place. I would love to have all that garage space. I would have multiple projects going at one time, lol.

Congratulations on the purchase. Looks like a great property with tons of potential. Good luck doing any work on anything other than house stuff for a long time.

No, there is some sentimental value to that truck. They want to keep it. Maybe someday.
