dm379 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 ... a school*house*!! :party: In March we're moving back into our house in Alabama. There's a MIL house in the back that has moldy walls and unsafe flooring that we never had time to fix. DH confessed that he hired somebody to make it habitable and it's allll mine. Plus a very generous decorating budget. It is 800 sq. ft. and has 2 rooms and a full bathroom, running water, electric and ACs. Not much smaller than the sardine can we're living in now. Not sure how I'm going to split up the 2 rooms yet. The sad part is that we're only there 16 - 18 months before we have to move again. I wonder if the neighbors would mind if I put in a bell like in Little House on the Prairie. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain jane Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Oh, that's really fantastic!! :thumbup: That's great that you have plumbing and running water in the house- no bathroom trips to the main house! Oh, and that opens up so many possibilities for a science lab since you have running water and room to set up your own lab benches. Fun! Congrats!

DawnM Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 That is great! I sure could use a 2nd room. When my older ones are reading they want it quiet, but I need to read or work with my younger. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play "when I win the lottery" and think about how I would make one of them into a school house. How cool that you really get to do this.
