The black river house is still an option. The realtor is putting together a few listings for us to look at.

Hopefully things will be quick and painless with the new place.

Is he also diabetic?

I drink something called Glucerna in place of my mid-day meal (which I never ate anyway) Sometimes, buy Boost instead.

(Eats but doesn't gain wt...Maybe he just needs a good dose of dewormer..)
;)

He is not diabetic, thankfully diabetes does not run in our family. I dont know that he has ever been checked for worms but he has been like this his entire life and was in the marines so i imagine someone would have checked there lol. Atm my dad who is 6'1" weighs under 100lbs and his thighs are as big as my forearms. As i said he has always been skinny but this is different.

He does also have many problems from agent orange including balance so i dont think he eats as much as he used too simply because of the effort of trying to get things. Thy have him scheduled for physical therapy to "help" he will probably go but its not going to help.

oh my....the perfect place was just listed 3hrs ago and i am so terrified someone else will put an offer on it before my CU gets my pre-approval done.

17 acres, huge barn 3 other outbuildings, some corrals, decent house with a walk out basement and the most goregous view ever, plus a stream goes thru part of it.....and its only 6 miles from our current place so it is in the area i wanted to stay in.

I might cry :fl

It is literally everything we were wanting in a place.

"They" say everything happens for a reason.... This might be that silver lining you deserve!

The view out of the living room windows is gorgeous, and the creek is a big plus too. I like the room with the butane lighter handing and handy for the heater; unique feature. Hopefully this one will be the one.

:fl:fl:fl:fl:fl:fl Hopefully you'll have better luck with your CU. Hope this one comes through for you! Might make all the pain and anguish you went through more tolerable since you get a better ideal location in the end. Glad you're not losing your earnest money.

oh i forgot to give you all a link to it lol.

The house itself needs work but it could be gorgeous and the view is to die for.

How did the meeting go at the CU??

Have your realtor take you ASAP. The fact that the house is old and needs work is a point in your favor. MOST people want a "move in" place and won't likely look at this unless they are buying the land and razing the house to put up something 3x the size. As long as the foundation is sound and the bones aren't rotted, you and DH can take care of everything in your own good time.

I like that it is farther from the main highway than the other.

Good Luck with this one, except for few/no fences, I think this looks like a better place for you. If you make an offer, it will tie it up as much if someone makes another offer then they will give you a chance to up yours right? Maybe the CU will hurry up with all the paperwork and documentation you have done. And maybe they will also be willing to go so far as to make phone calls if they have questions about things like the car lease ---dead issue---- Maybe this is your time finally.
