I don't think my poor back could handle an actual house make-over if I had to actually participate, LOL!

Love all antiquey stuff, cars, furni...Hi Becky -<br /> Love all antiquey stuff, cars, furniture, small cute homes, and all other sizes. But don't care too much for some of the creepy looking victorian style, as in the munsters.<br /> Remember as cute as a house may be, and as cute a house as you may be able to turn one into, you still have to live in the neighborhood. And I'd love to tell you how critically important the neighborhood is, and your location within it. Whewh! We are happily into our new / 7 yr old house, and boy what a relief to have more space now- over 3000sqft. And you'll wonder why we need all the space, with just the two of us and a dog? We hang onto sentimental things, antiques, collectible things, a room for a library, a room for an office, spare room for visitors, etc. Our homestyle is Colonial Charleston as is the whole neighborhood that is limited to 40 homes. Our previous home was just another cookie cutter home in a hood of 400 homes and I mean hood. Traffic, noise, very loud place to live, though it didn't start that way with only 20 homes.<br /> To cut to the chase, only buy a fixer-upper if the neighborhood is going to be acceptable to live in. I would still hang onto your main home, and keep the little one as a project that you can one day sell for a profit.<br /> I hate to pick sides, but I think Hubby will help you with his best advice, and trust him because your emotions are in turmoil with Sarah heading back to school. The Mother-Daughter bond is tightest one that exists among humans. I can only begin to imagine how difficult it must be to send a daughter off to college. I sympathize very sincerely.<br /> Oh, would love to have a Pawley's Island vacation home to fix up! Gotta run ... Our best always.<br />RandyR & Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-39223167944804663962009-08-14T20:19:27.418-04:002009-08-14T20:19:27.418-04:00Honey, it's not the same thing.
