Tree House Academy Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It looks wonderful! However, after the description of your current neighborhood, a SHACK would look wonderful too! Goodness...get out of there fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly in IL Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 What state do you live in? Would snow be a problem on the drive? I'm so happy for you, it has read like you are living in a nightmare. Get the heck out of Dodge, it looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy for you, it has read like you are living in a nightmare. Get the heck out of Dodge, it looks awesome! Snow shouldn't be an issue. We don't get a lot here, and when we do it doesn't stick around long. At worst, chains should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It looks great! I hope you can make it work. It must be such a stressful time for you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It looks wonderful!!! What a great place to raise your family! Praying that all goes smoothly. Rent a U-Haul and ask at your church for volunteers to help you make the move. I'm so happy for you!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaillardia Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 :party:Maybe I'm overreacting, but I sure do hope you get that place. It looks like a great place to live and for the kids to play. I've been wondering how things were going. You've apparently been looking in earnest. I hope it works out quickly and soon....:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Good for you! We have issues with our .... neighbors. (Snakes coming into the house, mice, coyotes, racoons eating our chickens, rural water going out at random times, but we can generally shoot our annoying neighbors. You probably shouldn't;)) The house looks lovely. I hope you get it. Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalieclare Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That looks great, Joann. I hope it works for you. Will you be heading north or south? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 South. It's one of the threesome that always gets lumped together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I felt so bad for you when you posted that the cabin wouldn't work out after all. The new house looks wonderful — I hope you can move ASAP! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Maybe one of the neighbors will be nice and get rid of it for you :D (I am seriously just kidding, but I know I would secretly foster that outside hope). The new place looks great. All the lead stuff you were dealing with was crazy. The neighbors were just horrible. I hope everything works out.

joannqn Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 We will probably do a deed in lieu of foreclosure for our current home. We lost approximately $95,000 of value since we last had an appraisal done. Between that and the lead disclosure, I can't imagine we'd be able to sell it. Our big hurdle is coming up with the $3000 of move-in costs in the next month or so. Between starting up DH's business, paying for the vandalism on our car, putting new floors into our current house, medical bills (we have no insurance), etc., our savings is wiped out.

joannqn Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 We have 36 registered sex offenders less than a mile of our current house with the closest two being only ONE block away (one of them is a block south of us and the other is a block east of us). The house we are hoping to rent has 5, with the closest one being half a mile away. You have to turn down four different streets to get there. Yeah, I think it would feel a tad bit safer.
