Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Not really. We have good insurance and a security system in the shop with cameras. We have had tools and material in the house since we bought it 3 years ago so there is always the chance something could happen. The house isn't isolated and only has one way in and one way out plus it can be seen by the neighbors on the next hill over.

A power pole..........awesome......... How few people truly know the joy of a brand new power pole. Congrats on the progress being made.

I was almost as happy when I got all of the limestone slabs moved away from the area that we had to cut out to make a flat spot I spent most of Saturday literally pushing the half ton pieces of stone with my little 32 horse power Kubota down the hill to get them out of the way.

We listed our home in Charleston with the realtors yesterday and got an offer this morning. There are still the usual negotiations going on but evidently we are in a price range that many folks are looking for so that's a good thing. We even turned down a couple of appointments yesterday evening because they were too late. I have had my cell phone turned off all day since the realtors now use an automated appointment system that isn't a good thing to have at work but nice to see so many appointments.

If everything goes through we will have to be out by April 1st but I'm not sure if it's a good thing to start a move on April Fool's Day.

I still have some loose ends to tie up at work since the house moved a lot faster than planned but the Daughter has a big house they have offered to share. I guess we will see how well our total of 4 dogs will get along.

Maybe you will get in a bidding situation. That would be nice.

We shall see but I think we listed pretty close to what will be the appraised value - We are letting them show until we actually officially accept the offer. There are 5 appointments scheduled for tomorrow so we decided to take the dogs upstate and put them on some sheep since it is supposed to be so nice.

I hope you get everything you want for it.

We moved a year and a half ago ourselves. We bought our new place before we sold our old one.

We were very fortunate when we sold our old place, so I know what a blessing it can be.

We planned as good as we could considering how much longer we stayed in Charleston than planned. I originally stayed because the contract we work on for the Air Force was supposed to go away in 2013 and I didn't want to leave the company in a bind. Now almost 3 years later, it is still up in the air but we are leaving this summer one way or another.

Our place in Tennessee is free and clear but we still have a lot of fence to put up. I don't think I will make it as pretty as yours though OFA.

Haha! April Fools day!! Maybe you could crack jokes all day when you are moving. We moved on Valentines Day, we love our new place!

What kind of fence will you put up?
