Purchasing an antiquated home – Life on the Farmlet

I have received word from the realtor that the owner and son are proceeding with estimates and repairs to the 174-5 year old house. They have called in the plumber, and termite inspector, and are waiting for the estimate from the electrician to proceed.

When I last reported to you about the Mountain Farmlet, you will recall that we were asking for them to repair, or discount the price by 15K for repairs on the following:

foundation
electrical
plumbing
and roof

Things seem to be moving in a very positive direction! This makes me very hopeful, that we will be able to close the deal and take ownership of this antique home.

I know you think we have lost our minds, but this is a once in a lifetime event. Yes, it is an old house, but after the repairs we feel that she still has a few good years left in her. The house will never be perfect, it wasn’t when it was first built! But, it is precisely those ~~imperfections~~ quirks that make it such a charming old estate.

We really are looking forward to living there on the mountain.

Again, thank you to everyone for your goodwill and prayers for us. They encourage us.
