My dream pt 2

But things were starting to get really hectic after that Wednesday. On Thursday I got the inspection report and I was told that the house needed renovation desperately but as far as structurally the house and the out buildings were more then structurally sound.

After I talked to the inspector I called Sydney's house and talked to Daniel about his friends in the trades. When I told him what I wanted we agreed to meet at the house on Sunday with his friends so I could show them what I wanted.

On Saturday I went to the owner and after several beers and a lot of talking we agreed on a price of eighty-five thousand for the house and all the property. He was the one to suggest a lower price because he liked that I was going to live in the house and I was keeping the land intact.

Noon on Sunday I got together with Daniel's friends at the house along with Daniel Savannah and Sydney. I bought a couple of cases of beers and sandwich stuff so we could make a day of it. We kicked around a lot of ideas on what to do with the house and where we could make bathrooms. We finally decided on taking the bedroom that was next to the master bedroom and making that into three bathrooms one was for the master bedroom one was going to be a powder room for guest and the other was going to be connected to one of the other bedrooms. It wasn't a perfect idea but it was the best we could come up with.

The kitchen was easy, as it was so bare we could do anything we wanted. The rest of the house would stay pretty much the way it was except for putting on doors to the bedrooms and repainting the entire house. The electrical problems were the hardest to solve as all the walls were made of adobe. The best the electrician could come up with was channelling the walls so he could run the wires he needed. That would mean I would need a mason to make the channels and he would also have to fill them in afterward. I told them all I would give them thirty-percent bonuses, if they could get me living in the house by the time school was in session. Of course that only meant I had a shower, a place to put my bed and some where to cook my meals. The rest could be done later.
