I said no for a multitude of reasons. There were puddles in the master bedroom. There were pipes missing in the basement. All the appliances were clearly shot and would need to be replaced. EVERY room needs paint...and seems to be covered in what some might call MOLD. Who knows what's lurking underneath those walls.... Bill can replace a faucet or vanity, change out a light fixture, and I can paint the heck out of any house...but this? This was going to take blood, sweat, and tears...and contractors...so many contractors. I also have two young boys to consider - and homework and lunches and the bigger tax bill (as this house and property are double what we had) and heating costs...all those things....so many things...I haven't even told you about the Adirondack Room yet...soon, my lovelies, soon....
