Dreams on Hold

So, our farm dream is on hold. The market just didn't work in our favour quick enough, after losing our Dream Property in October, and so we settled for a more local property. It's has a giant lot, fit for a giant garden. No animals allowed, of course, being within city limits...but we can wait.

So, our farm adventure, is now more gardening, recipe creation and renovation. House type things.
Not that this property needs anything in the way of renovations. The kitchen and bathroom could use an update at some point (soon, if we have our way) and we need to built a garage.
And the floors and stairs (all original oak) will be refinished.
Plus, painting.

It's pretty exciting.

The closing date is February 28th.

Photos coming soon.

Postponing the Farm

It's the time of year where moving to the middle of the country to a fixer-upper farm is a dangerous idea, because of freezing cold temperatures. So, until further notice we will be postponing our farm dream.

Being that we desire to move out of the current living situation (with family), we have decided to try to buy a house in the city where we currently reside.

So, for now...Frankie's Farm Adventure will be a less farm, and more city-home renovations and backyard gardening. We're keeping the blog the name it is though...because it's all a part of our adventure getting to "the farm"...

Tonight we signed a purchase agreement on a local 2-story house, with a small yard, that needs a LOT of work, but has great potential, as long as we get it for the price we desire...which is $27,000 below asking...

*fingers crossed*
