How's that house hunting going, Kao?
It is going ok, A little slow at the moment because the parents are proposing that I purchase their existing house if they upgrade to a larger, more wheelchair accessable unit, thus saving them from having to renovate the place and giving me a good sized house in my price range for significantly less than I would pay for the same house from a non parental seller, so at the moment i'm waiting for them to find something they like, and for them to make up their minds if they really want to go that route.
Other than that, I have 4 other potential houses that I'm looking at closer. 2 are more of a fixer-uper type project, but with relitivly large yards and sound structure / foundations. The first just needs some kitchen and exterior work, then upgrades inside as I have time. The second is in a little bit worse shape, but it has a very large kitchen already (not well appointed, but good potential). Would need new flooring throughout most of the house since the existing carpet is thrashed (would probably go with wood flooring and tile instead anyways), some wall work inside, things like that. It does have a brand new roof though.
The other two I was looking at are about the same size house, but slightly smaller yards and not really any fixing required besides some landscaping. Whatever house I get i'm going to wire for just about every electronic device known to man, so the wall work in the fixer uppers doesn't really bother me. The two newer ones do have natural gas, and with my propensity for accidentally making things explode that worries me slightly.
so thats where things are currently, just a matter of time.
