Well, the Wife and I got a call last weekend about a nearby house that was up for sale; We have looked at around 8 or so up to this point, but we got lucky this time around. The realtor called before the house was even listed to give us first dibs, and after looking at it (4 BR, 2 bath, FP, finished basement, detached garage, BIG dang barn, sits on 3 useable acres, for $155K), we filled out a Purchase and Sale contract...

Got the call today that the Sellers accepted our offer and will sign the contract tomorrow and, all goes well, we will be closing on July 1st!

Here are a few pics...






Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

Hey John-
It's on 12A .2 miles from the old Roxbury dump, or 4.5 miles from where Rt. 12A splits off of 12 by Norwich University... Oh yeah, gonna have a model room big time...

Don, Congratulations! Glad something finally panned out for you and your wife. Looks Great. Can't wait to see your Model Room..hehe..

That barn looks like a wicked place for storage/work/model room/ hiding place to park the deuce-and-a-half......

Kewl Beans, I know the spot! Congrats!

Hey John...
Consider yourself invited to the housewarming party... I'd like to hook up in person but I ain't 'zactly sure if you're doing the tooth thing or not when I can pull it off....

That also goes for any other piggies who live in the 150 mile+ area that want to meet in person at my new sty...

Sticky... Definitely (Ya know you wanna )
TankCarl... Perhaps, bring me some solvaset
Lord Davidus... Don't forget the SVI...
Chaddus... I want some real Wisconsin cheese...

I'm absolutely serious about this; If I can figure out a set date to throw an ersatz housewarming party, any and all you guys are invited to attend; However, I cannot vouch for sleeping arraingments (But I will have a bigass barn, lol... Think roughly 75' by 30')...

Great idea for a house warming party.



Well since I was in the army,I am used to sleeping out in a pup tent.no problem.
Just so long as the local flora and fauna dont try to eat me... (++) (++)

'nuther thought,how far from the Lebanon airport?

Lord Carlus-

I'm about 45 -50 minutes form Lebanon, give or take a few...

Congrats on your new place. I'm in the process of having ours built. 3500+ square feet with one serious model room. They haven't gotten the roads and curbs in yet so it is a ways off. Hopefully by the end of the year. I can only wish and dream about as great a price as yours though. Once again, Congrats. "Q"

Well, got a call from the finance co. today and we're set to close on June 15th; Haven't got a set date for a housewarming party but the Wife and I are looking at maybe Sat., August 13th in hopes of nice weather...

Any Piggies in the NE US or will be in the area that wanna show up for a first time get together and chow down on some potato salad, burgers, red hots, etc., you're more than welcome

Gonna have horseshoes, volleyball, badminton, etc., and music for entertainment; So if you haven't made plans for that weekend and want to show up for a visit, LMK...

My email is [email protected]

Oinkies!
(++) (++) (++) (++) (++)

I may take you up on that.Thjough having a table out so we can build would be fun too...

I will be there or be square! (Kids permitted?)

Looks like you'll be living high off the hog now :-) . If you have access to a metal detector, start probing around-never know what you might find. BTW, that's going to look great in winter colors. Enjoy! (++) .

Hey John-
Kids are OK long as you can bring something to entertain them, depending on age (we have a 17 and 19 y/o)... lol

I'll hafta run down to Barre and drop in on your office just to say hi beforehand...

Carl-
A table would be cool, however, it may wind up being just you and Sticky from the looks of things; In which case, we can assemble down in my model dungeon lol...
