We are just a normal family that desires to live as debt free as possible and be a blessing to others. This blog is about part of our journey to get there. Come often and view our progress as we take the plunge with our "dream" home. Oh, you may see it as a nightmare but sit back and watch as our dream becomes a reality. A reality where we can enjoy the company of those traveling through as they stop and enjoy a good nights rest and some old fashioned home cooking. If by chance you live in the area or are traveling through, stop in and see for yourself what we are doing as you sit a bit and enjoy a glass of sweet tea. If nothing else, just come often and watch as this dream of ours unfolds right before your very eyes.

operation board the windows

Getting closer to closing day.  Today we got the paperwork to close on the house.  It is all in order and we have our cashiers check ready for Tuesday.  We went out to the property and walked around for a while. We wanted to get the house all closed up so when the storms come this weekend, there is less water going in.  By closed up, I mean nailing boards on the windows without glass.  LOL  It was fun to watch the girls run and play in the yard.  Then even more fun when we moved the back steps right before leaving only to find 5 little baby kittens looking at us.  I guess we have our first "barn" cats!  Needless to say, that is all the girls can talk about!

operation paperwork

The paperwork is done and the title and deed are ready.  We will be closing on Tuesday, September 4th at 3:30 in the afternoon.  Following closing we are inviting anyone who would like to come see the property to stop by and get a view before the renovations start.  We should be out there by 5 or so.  Come on over and "dream" with us for a minute!

operation information ~ day 2

We were not able to go to the title company yesterday as planned.  The contracts were not signed so we could not order the title work to be done.  Today I was able to pick up the contracts and deliver them to the Logan County Title Company.  The title is being searched today and the  paperwork should be ready to go for a closing date of September 4th.  On a side note, the roll a way dumpster that my husband ask me to check on is $579 for only 14 days!  We may have to call in reinforcements to help us get it all gutted in that length of time.  Are you ready?  LOL  By the way, there are no other bills owed against the property.  We are good to go!

operation information

After many months of research and prayer we have found our "dream" home.  Awe to you it may seem a nightmare the first time you visit but to us it is a dream.  We are moving forward to make the purchase with a closing date of September 4, 2012.  We will not be using a realtor but a title company to close on our new home.  That will make things much less expensive and much less hassel.  Our money is in the bank and soon we will begin the renovations.  In checking our the leins against the house we called the local water company to find that there is a $500 water bill owed.  WOW!  After careful consideration the village board members have agreed to forgive that debt for us to move in and clean that place up.  Yeah!  God sure is good!  Today we will find out if there are any electric/gas bills owed.  Today is also the day to go to the title company and put our paperwork in for a title commitment.  I will keep you posted.
