Well it looks like we have closed deals on both the House we are buying and the Condo we are selling. What a stress it is, going through this sort of thing. First of all you try to buy the new place that you like, as cheaply as possible. Then you try to squeeze as much as you can out of the place your selling. Because what you have in between is what you have to work with on the new place. And the new place certainly needs work. Oh, well! We made the best deal we could get on both ends and I guess we are moving forward.
We have sold our little condo, that most readers will be familiar with from it's description in one of my home pages. (look for header "our little condo") This has been our home base that we transition through each spring and fall, between our summers on board Thunderbird and our winters in Texas. For the last 8 years of this schedule it has worked well for us. But, we have decided it is time to move on to something else. We want a real house for when the time comes to give up the boat and become land lubbers.
We have purchased # 249, 6th Ave. in Winnipeg Beach. It's a nice solid little (and I do mean little) house built in 1955, but it needs a lot of updating. So, this will be our project for the next few years. Wish us luck. More details and pictures of our progress will follow.
