There were 2 possibilities--one needed too much work (and I was all about not having to renovate when we moved) and the other was empty with no information about it that we could find (turns out it got listed earlier this year for only $35,000--I would've renovated if I had gotten a house that cheap). I love the "Bliss House" we got but my first love is still a bungalow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-78371248231284104832010-11-11T08:49:16.310-08:002010-11-11T08:49:16.310-08:00Thank you all for your comments!
