Chateau Plumage
We had lunch at our new home today. Stopped on the way out and got fried chicken, biscuits, Doritos, cokes and beer. Not exactly a gormet meal but it allowed us to sit down and view the home as our own for the first time.
In previous visits we were afraid to start making plans since our offer was not accepted. Now the excitement is setting in. For two years we looked at everything in a negative light to establish a negotiating position. We finally had a chance to look at things more positively.
The good news is the place has been freshly painted, the floors are in great condition, and the well works. We have a few faucets to replace but the septic system seems to be ok. There is a little rot in some areas outside that will require immediate attention.
Our first major project, other than the move itself, is to establish our outdoor aviary and deal with the raccoons. Shortly after the move the weather will be getting colder and we have to find a way to winterize the cages in their new location.
