phaeton place

this morning i woke up by chance-i slept through my alarm. i still had enough time to shower before having to wake up ham. i made him cheesy eggs only to over-cook them, while making a new batch his toast popped up only for me to find mold on it so i had to make him cinnamon toast since that's the only bread we have that isn't frozen. i ended up burning the cinnamon toast too. which made me decide today would be a great day to stay inside (nevermind the fact that i have loads of laundry waiting for me, dishes too and floors that need sweeping)

good news: mike is on his way home. he got the project finished and running. {he works with gas +propane}

bad news: the realtor that sells the land in auburn estates said that our 1600+ sq. foot stratton house isn't good enough to be built on their land. it has to be 1800+. not his words but i know that's what he meant.

this is the area we want to live so finding that out sucked. as you drive in, on the right hand side is a pond with a sidewalk going all the way around it. nice for running or taking kids over to see the ducks. on the other side of the pond is the river, they even have a pier to over look it. they better have something for the high hoa fee's ($400 bucks a year)


good news: the phaeton place that i had mentioned before is in the same neighborhood. plus it has 2 acres of land.
this is mike's future man cave. its got a bar already set up too with a mini fridge. there's also 2 rooms and a storage area that we can put the weights in. the only con is the hoa fee's, we would have to pay double because we have 2 lots. the sellers said they would take care of it for the first year and we could ask for a price reduction with the hoa people. other than that the other cons we could live with. tomorrow we met with 2 builders, if they dont impress us then we will make an offer on this place.
