Not so perfect 7 acre homestead

I was afraid this would happen. A great place for someone else, but not for our family. As we walked in the door, we were hit with the immense smell of cat. The kitchen was a 3 feet length of counter with a sink, a stove, and a fridge. Barely room to turn around with more then one person in it. The bathroom was a tub- no shower- a commode 6 inches from its edge and a sink just far enough away arms length. I could go on and on about the disappointment and load of work needed , but instead i will just leave it as- The house is not what our family could work around. Too much would need to be done and the price to high for building another home and tearing the old one down. Maybe for someone else who has the money to throw around, but not for us. The repairs would cost more then what the home is worth. We are better off starting with vacant land and building new.An area where would have put a large garden. i just loved the massive willow trees placed throughout the property.

I will continue our search and am determined we need something before this place sells. Which brings me to a good tid bit of news from our realtor. A woman is looking for a home that she can have her mother live with her too. Our realtor told her of our home and it's great layout for a "mother in law suite" in the rec room. The rec room is separate from the rest of the basement/garage plus has the right spots for a bathroom and small kitchenette area. It has its own entry from the house front and small "porch" area under the upstairs balcony (front door).
The woman is interested and we decided to lower our price to perk it more.
I do not know if anything will come of it, but time will tell. I just have lost all patience with the realty business.
Fernie will be going home with Roseanna. I cannot get the anemia to go away and do not wish to sell her to someone who could not give her the attention she needs. Roseanna said the Anemia is very hard to rid out of the system and takes time. Time and experience I do not have to offer.
Roseanna will get her back into great health and will have her prepped for another family's milker. A brighter future then anywhere else I was able to find.
Chia will be going to her new home in Mid October, but I will share more of that in another post.
Until then...
~Sweet dreams, Tammie
