Come back July 2ndStay tuned as All Blogs enters it’s 3rd season. Will they family move to a homestead? Will teenage drama cause premature balding and anxiety? Will [...]
Sad but TrueI know I am sick in the head, but I simply cannot wait to take this group to Cedar Point in the morning. Most adults think… 30 7-12 graders, leave in the wee hours of the morning, stay really late at night, stand in line all day, get on big monsters like Top [...]
So…We checked out this house yesterday. This is the finished basement. Awesome baby…. grrooowlll. While not exactly “one million dollars” we do figure that in order to make the basement less laughable, we’d have to invest some cash.

Risk taker or ostrich?This house-hunting has exposed some things about me and Kristen that I’d like to share.
Risky businessThere is little doubt that buying “this old house” would be a massive risk. It’s more house than we can afford [though the mortgage guy is happy to loan it to us!] and it has more projects [...]
This is what the house looks like if you are driving from the west into town. Lots of potential.
It’s not all a bed of roses. There are a lot of “weekend projects” around this old place like this porch decking.
