In October of 2007, my wife and I stopped paying rent, and started paying a mortgage...
The search for our "dream home" began in June '07. We had just relocated to Upstate New York after spending several years in the DC area. While it was a giant change, we were excited that we could finally get a house that didn't cost an arm and leg. But it wasn't easy.
Maybe its the area, but houses for sale in this neck of the woods aren't like the ones on HGTV or DIY. No one calls in a TV crew to figure out the best way to sell a place. You're lucky if they even clean it before they leave.
Still, after several months of searching, we found our dream house. A 2000+ sq. ft., four square with colonial revival details and 1.3 acres. We fell in love when we walked through the door and made an offer the next day.
We pledged that day to restore this diamond in the rough back to its original glory, and we've begun to do just that.
This is our story...
