We made an offer that they declined but they came down by 10k, we upped our offer and they said we're too far off. We waited a week then I made an offer of $63,000 and they accepted. This last week we have been docusigning forms, going to the bank, making lots of calls and stressing out.
The money will be wired to the title company on Monday or Tuesday and the following week we will be heading down there for a week to see how much of a mess it really is.
The little room on the side of the house is a bathroom which we'll remove and that chimney needs to be knocked down too.
The blue wall is the utility room and it and the kitchen both will be removed. The door on the right side goes down to the basement and that will be moved somewhere else.
Back of bathroom and side of kitchen & utility room, all going to be removed.
So we're going to be left with this main room, 19 x 24. I've drawn up about 50 different ways we could make this into a livable space and its doable but going to be tiny. Thats OK for a vacation home.
Bathroom which is going to go away.
Utility room, which is going away.
Kitchen, also going away. Asshats already removed and sold the sink.
This is a CLOSE drawing but not totally accurate.
These trees are apricots
All this wood from the inside of the house needs to be disposed of because they were doing drugs in the house. I don't want to live in a meth house.
More junk to get rid of.
This is an old foundation, we might add a garage or another tiny home.
Because there's a hose going through the yard here, I'm taking a water shut-off tool to leave down there so no more pipes will freeze and neighbors won't be using water on our dime.
I'm hoping we can level out the yard some and get rid of a lot of the rocks.
All I can think of is SPIDERS.
We *THINK* the property line is along the wood poles along the ground. Eventually we'll put up a fence to keep our dogs in and people out. They can walk around the block instead of through our property.
We'll be driving down in the Escape on Saturday June 8th, leaving at 9PM. Hoping to reach Yakima by midnight, Leave Yakima at 6am and reach Boise by noon and to Pioche by 8PM Sunday. We'll see, it's so hard to drive straight through without getting outside to walk and stretch our legs. Plus, we can't get into the house before Monday at the very earliest since we still have 1 more paper to sign & it has to be notarized. We might end up having to go into Las Vegas and I wanted to avoid that place if necessary.
Its going to be 107* in Vegas, only 89* in Pioche.
