House, take 2

Let’s try this again, shall we? Yesterday Kim and I signed another contract, this time on this place. It’s big (2200 sq ft., which is way too big!), in a decent neighborhood, and has loads of fixer-upper-ness. Apparently the couple is getting a divorce and trying to unload it quick (so quick [...]
