Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Today Frank and I had lunch and then drove by three houses that came on the market yesterday near his house. Each of them had an unfixable fatal flaw, that made it worse for me than my present house IMO. I'm seriously thinking of forgetting this search for a dream house, and staying put! I love my present house and just wanted to buy one that is nicer or could be made nicer. Oh well, maybe it is not to be.
Then he wanted to go to a going-out-of-business sale at the Radio Shack at New Orleans' biggest mall. We battled the traffic and managed to find a parking place which is not as easy as it sounds! But alas, the store was already empty, shuttered, and padlocked. Guess the sale is over.
What a rotten day. On the other hand, it was still better than a day at work, though marginally so....
Remodel or update...much cheaper. Make it your home. I just spent $10,000 in my kitchen. New counter top, sink, faucet, stove, frig, and backsplash. I know the kitchen probably wouldn't be your first priority...but maybe a nice spa like bath remodel or update? New paint in bathroom/bedroom/living room?
