Our Journey to a Mortgage Free Home: #3



We left you with this in our last post!  So, what did we do with this mess????


Come on, I'll show you ....



Yep, we tore it down ...




completely ....


and burned it!


Then it was time for the rest of the clean-up!


Finally, a cleared lot!

Just you wait to see what we moved onto this nice clear lot ... I can't tell you how many people questioned our sanity when they saw it!!!  If I had been them, I would have too!!!

Here are a few hints:

it was old (built in 1932) ...

it had been a house and had served as a church at different times ...

it had a huge hole in the roof ...

it had a big hole in the floor directly under the huge hole in the roof ...

it had no inside walls, only studs ...

it was home to many creatures ...

it was full of trash (this is an under statement) ...

it had been neglected for lots of years ...

it had been used for storage for all of those 'lots of years' (You know the kind of storage where you just open the door and throw it in?)

the structure was sound ...

it was what we could pay cash for ...

I'm trying to prepare you for the picture ... which will come in the next entry of our journey!

Yes, I know you love me!!!!
