First low ball (-14%) - DENIED.
Second medium low ball (-9%) - DENIED and they were in negotiations with another buyer so I thought it was over.
Third ever so-slightly low offer (-4.5%) ACCEPTED after they couldn't come to an agreement with the other guy.

time to watch that crappy 80's movie again - the MONEY PIT, because that's what I have waiting for me. lol.

3 years vacant foreclosure and bought "AS IS" - what could possibly go wrong?

Sure just volunteer me LOL. Seriously though I do maintenance at work so if you have issues I might be able to help. If you're keeping the existing appliances I'm pretty good at fixing those if they have issues.

Thanks for the offer of help guys!!!! I should be A-OK, but you never know and I really appreciate the offer.

The garage has at least one spot that is high enough for the lift.

I spent most of this weekend camping out with Alex and his cubscout pack. I got back just in time to meet with the realtor and sign my life away with a bunch of preliminary paperwork. The closing won't be until the middle of February.

The first two nightmares are the roof and the heating system. It's got a 25 year old wood shingle roof that I need to check much closer to see how bad it is. I'm not sure if I can get away with having some patching done temporarily or if I need to have it stripped off and reshingled (probably with typical asphalt shingles).

I think that the propane heating system has been off for at least two years but it looks like it's not that old. Hopefully it will be fine.

let me know if ya need an HVAC guy?
my friends brother has a HVAC business and installed a new propane heating system in my house at a great price.
Also whens the house warming party ? hehe
how much acreage you got now?
