I used to dream about winning the lottery or something and buying a block of land and putting houses all around the block for the family with a huge shared back yard for a big garden and our dogs. Well, Jeanette and I have been talking about doing something like that. These new Tiny Homes going up everywhere might make that doable!! What if we could sell this house and buy a little land and 4 or 5 tiny homes for all of us?? One for Jeanette, Jami, Jess, and me with a spare for whatever of the kids that need it?? You can buy a Tiny Home for as little as $800 (Walmart) up to the fully loaded $8,000 Elon Musk Tiny Homes. I really worry about Jess and Jeanette being able to keep up this place after I'm gone AND I worry about the growing cost of repairing this house. Right now I need about $1,000 to replace the leaking natural gas pipe and there are a lot of "little things" that can turn into Big Things if we don't fix them soon. The AC is currently rigged to work. The basement drain barely works. The wood around the back door is rotting. The deck, too! The whole house is off Kilter supposedly from the house getting pushed back from the street that supposedly was fixed before we moved in. It was all newly carpeted and we can feel places in the floor that are weak under that new carpet. Yea, we might have problems selling it!! But WE bought it so someone else might, too, right?? I doubt they would pay what we did! but we Had To buy a home quickly for the "spend down" so we just paid the asking price without hardly any questions. We paid $180,00 and it is listed as worth about $150,000.
I want to at least look at doing this and making that old dream come true!!! Really, I would day dream about this but Never thought it could come true. It was just a fantasy that I loved so I would often go through it in my head to fall asleep at night.
I don't have a lot of time to see this through but even if I don't see it to completion I would love to have it in motion to where Jeanette could finish getting it done. Then I can just haunt their little asses in their little houses❣️
