New Home For Kris and those Babies....Darrel gets to live there too

It is a done deal, Kris has a new house. I did not talk much about it because I was so afraid it might not go through...When they sold theirs here in AZ I thought they would never be able to buy another home but they did. This house sits in Arlington...here is the link... Fleta it looks like a home you would like... http://sea.themlsonline.com/search/29127400.html (seems you will have to copy the link...) if you check http://www.zillow.com/ with the address you can see the wooded lot it sits on from the air...I like Zillow much better for checking out houses because it often has the prices of the surrounding houses on this site as opposed to google earth..and I will just say it, they got it for 315 and the seller paid all closing costs...it seems to me to have been a very good deal...

It sits on an acre lot which is hard to get up there. I am so proud. The entire acre is fenced so Amanda and Baby Jake will not escape...When kenzie goes back for Christmas break she will be going to the new home. It has 5 bedrooms and half of the garage is insulated heated and cooled, like a Mothers-in-law quarters...that might be handy...Ha The best part is Kenzie does not have to help move. When they moved from here to WA Kris had a moving company that came in and packed her out. She committed more than once that it was so hard to do...Wait till she gets to move all of that stuff this time. Her and Darrel have to move it..

They have their own well and septic yet the line to hook to the city is right there in case they ever need it...Kris' water bill sometimes ran as much as $200.00...water is just high there and it cost Darrel about 600 to get to work for a month with all of the ferry fees...not including the hour plus time each way. Sometimes on Friday nights it would take him 3 hours to get home...Oh yes and another good thing...they have BIGGER trash cans...Thank Goodness...

I can not wait to see the house. I think when I send Kenzie back in May or June I will tag along....We no longer have to cross the ferry to get to the house from the airport and Darrel is 15 minutes from his work, yet it still has a country feel and a small grade school...I guess they did good which is amazing since I was not in on the deal...Ha










I just love it! A Home for those babies....

I know on the listing it says 3 bedroom...but that front part used to be a garage and they enclosed it and made 2 more bedrooms...they could not list that as part of the house because there is a step down to get into the bedrooms so it is not on the same level and a realtor is not supposed to count that area...a good one who was just a little shaddy would have listed it as 5 or died trying....that is not including the now new detatched garage is half sealed off with another room that could be a bedroom...a pottie and sink are in there no shower though....
