And the question is.....? Update

Ok, so I've now went through the house of our friends' with an eye on details....whoa!!! So yes, it does have a good deal of potential....this morning when my girlfriend and I went over to check it out was the first time I have ever been entirely through the house. When I go for a visit with someone, I'm not 'looking' at the house with my critical eye...what's there or not isn't usually of importance...I'm there for a visit.

The findings...its a one bedroom, two complete bathrooms, large 'great room' and kitchen. The pool enclosure is actually larger than the house itself...but set up to entertain most definitely. The 'great room'...living room area off the kitchen...has nice window area on one wall, wood burning stove for heat, central a/c, bedroom has built in cedar sauna, bathroom off bedroom has washer/dryer hook-up...the pool bathroom has full tub/shower enclosure, double vanity sink and the hotwater heater is there....the pool bathroom is accessible from the pool deck as well as from just off the living room area. On the pool deck, the enclosure is covered with metal roofing on two sides, screen over the rest...huge area...tons of possiblities there as well.

The downside...so much crap to haul out of the house and off the property. I'm sure most of the things inside will need to be dealt with by them as some of it appears to be some personal items that just haven't 'found' their way to the other house yet.

Since we haven't given them a yea or nay as yet, there are now more things to add to the list of things to talk about...like what do you want me to do with your stuff?
The deck furniture, of course, would be used around the pool...but the rest of the stuff....OMG!!! Looks like OUR stuff and how we have things!!! Junk mostly, but it might be something we could have a need for someday...sigh....so much work to make it even half way ready for us to try and move into...do I really have the energy for this and is it really going to be worth the monthly saving of $200/month? Guess that will be mostly decided now as the current tropical storm moves in on us....at least that place is a solid house....not a tincan.
