I am obsessed with this house:
http://www.oldhouses.com/cf/displaylisting.cfm?q_listingid=375&searchlist=334,367,375,378,290&searchname=Listings%20In%20Indiana&searchdest=%2Fcf%2Flistinglist%2Ecfm%3Fq%5Flistingstate%3DIN%26searchname%3DListings%2BIn%2BIndiana

And there are more photos at the realtors site at: http://www.flockrealty.com/

The asking price is less than what I paid, and with the condition of the photos is a S.T.E.A.L.

If I knew now back in April of last year about bungalows, arts-crafts, morgage, houses, ect, and my feelings toward my nursing position at SMH, I would have packed up, and relocated to Indiana, in a heart-beat.... I can invision having a cup of coffee on the deck outside my bedroom window, watching time pass by.

Don't get too worried. I am in no position to move, relocate, or take on a massive project such as this. Maybe someday....there are a few mountains and valleys, and mud filled creaks to go through before I obtain a final destination.....

Lately my mind and life has been a cluster-fuck of ideals, motivation, and lack of direction. Over the past few years, with dealing with lifes interesting adventures, and my depression, I have learned more about the world around me, and myself. The later being most precious of knowledge. I'm always talking about "projects", and its true I have enough little projects going to keep my busy for the rest of my life. My to read book list gets longer, my scrapbook pile grows, the family history sits waiting to be printed into a book, trips to take, relationships to mend, or bend, or sever, and countless house projects.

I have a strong feeling to get my ducks in a row. To look at what exactly is my next step. I finished Hs, went to college, became a nurse, have a new car, and a wonderful house, and now what??? I have a strong feeling I know what that is.....

Its time to take out the pen and paper folks, and get down on paper, what I see the vision for the house...and the vision for myself.

As far as the house goes, it definately needs a name. Suggestions are welcomed.

My goal for the next year is to strip the woodwork, and install interior doors, that are missing. Yardwork and landscaping are definately in order. Long term plans is to repaint most of the mainfloor, put in a new furnance, water heater, and GUT the kitchen. Sounds like fun????

Quack. Quack. Quack.
The loft of my bungalow was finished in the 1970's when the old radiators were taken out, and the flood had gone through.

After work, I went up to the loft, and got to lookin at the stairs that go nowhere. The more I looked the more I wondered....

Since it was a small spot, and the carpeting could always be put back, I did some archeology, and well... look behind the cut!

The ORIGNAL woodwork of the stairs, UNHARMED. I just about died. Now my curosity, is what is under the REST of the carpet upstairs???
