Proud New Owner!!!

Hello to all my WCKCC family and friends. A little update for ya because I am so excited about it I have to share. As of today, Crystal and I are the proud new owners of our first home. 2 miles out of the city limit and 6 miles to the office. As you other owners (I can finally say that) have probably been through, there was a long stretch of back and forths, inspections, delays, and adjustments but it finally paid off and we were able to close today. Currently it is an older (1974) 3br, 1.5bath ranch over a walk out basement. Also included is a 30x40 pole barn (AKA my shop), a huge pond and 6.2 mostly wooded acres. A lot of upgrading in the near future and hopefully a whole other level up turning it into a 5br 3.5 bath home in a couple years. Here's a couple pics of my new project. Lots to do but all of you that know me know I'm up to the challenge.

The house:




My new shop:


The pond:



To help keep those of you who have recently bought a home in Cali I'll save you the shock and not tell you what we got it for. I'll just say it was a steal.

Sweeeeeet!

Your own private pond.

Don't come home drunk with the Blue Demon. If you miss the garage you could get pretty wet.

No fish in the pond yet. I need to get the Alge down, get it cleared up and a pond fountain going for airation, then I'll have it stocked with a few fish and turttles. Plenty of frogs in it though. Michael's having a blast trying to catch them. picked up a 12ft Aluminum boat for us to put around in. Taking that over today. Due to the high wind storms we've been having and the fact that they blocked the pond view and are leaning towards the house we had the trees directly along the front of the house removed so it is way more open but we're stil tucked back 450 ft from the road and are surrounded by trees. you can't even see the street from the house. Very nice and private.

Hey Barb,

We really miss you guys too. The Demon house (shop) was one of my had to haves on the list. Didn't really look at anything that didn't have one. Now I need to get the pit dug in it . As far as pond hockey goes. YOU KNOW IT. Have to take the boat over today and get to the middle to see how deep it actually is but should get plenty frozen this winter to go out and teach Michael how to skate.

Congrats on the new home. Just don't forget to set the emergency brake on the Sky. Wouldn't want the pond creatures finding out what they are missing by living in water

That's right and a good clue for me that the Demon has an unseen protection around her cause I was right next to him and didn't get a drop on me.

Way Cool!

Thomas,

I have been wondering how things were going, Yahooo! Irene and I are really happy for the three of you. I guess I know what you will be doing for the next two or three years! Take lots of progress pics and send them along. Hopefully you will get some visitors next summer if all goes well....

Have fun and remember, always read the owners manual before using any new power tool and always wear protective eye ware.

Chance and Irene

Hey Gunny, nice piece of property! It will keep you busy with 6.2 acres. I can see another level would make for a fantastic place to live. Something like this would be so hard to find in California....for under 3 Milllion!

What you need on the back of that 12ft. boat is a pair of 200hp HPDI YAMAHA's...for trolling of course.

Your not kidding. I paid one and a quarter for this one............................................... .......thousand that is.

It's a prime buyers market right now for sure.

A motor like that and I'd be across and out before I could do anything about it.

Went out to the middle for the first time yesterday and dropped a line down. It's lower than normal right now but still 12 ft deep. Stocking and them surviving the winter should be fine.

Thanks. I plan to. In about a year...... There's so much to do inside and out it will probably take that long. Won't even be ready to move in for another 2 to 3 weeks because we are doing the paint, refinishing the solid wood cabinets, flooring, and new bath before we even move anything in it. Then all new windows before the cold hits. then we can focus on finishing the basement since some water got in there and there was mold trace begining to form on the walls so we went int a ripped what was there out before it got out of hand a couple weeks ago (even before we closed but knew we definatly were and had the owners permission). And so on. Kappa parties and cook outs will comence next summer
