bought a house (w/pics) - July 24th, 2004 at 04:47 AM
I don't know which place would've been best to post this, but I figured I'd post here since most of my questions will be here now.
Weez, you can put this wherever you feel is appropriate.
Ok, now that's taken care of. Yes, I bought a house. No, not the one I was trying to buy before. I didn't post anything about this one because I wanted to wait until I actually had it, lest anything went wrong. This house was actually my third attempt at buying a house, the other two offers went through. This one was a dream, though. It's on a decent sized piece of property, has a privacy fence in the back yard aaaaaannnnnd....18 oak trees! yes, 18. 10 in the front yard, 8 in the back.
The biggest challenge with this place is going to be that the soil is extremely sandy. There are large patches where grass won't even grow (which I don't mind in and of itself, because I don't care for grass). This complicates my original plans for having huge flower/butterfly gardens in the front yard. bah.
See my next post for details on my first project.
You can find pictures of the house (inside and out) and the yard at:

I haven't had time to name them or make thumbnails for them yet...sorry! I'm still busy moving in and cleaning. :p
