Bah Humbug.

Well, as many people know, we are trying to "upgrade" our house. Today we went to look at this beautiful Victorian house built in 1866 for the third time. Problem is, we had renters back in 2007 who screwed up our credit. Now we're trying to purchase this new house and we're getting quite frustrated by the things that keep coming up. From the credit issues. From our renters. Three years ago! Hopefully we'll have this worked out soon and be able to close between July and September.
The house is beautiful. It has ornately carved wood on the deck, moldings, etc. Even the hinges on the doors are exquisite. Attention to detail back then was amazing. The house was built by Lt. LH Tanner of the Confederate Army. It is right across the street from all of the restaraunts and shops of historic downtown Acworth. Also, it is only a short walk to Acworth Beach so we can go enjoy that in the summer.
Hopefully this will all work out.
Fingers crossed!

  1. Good luck! I hope it works out for you. We still own our house in Ohio and just had renters move out after 18 months. They trashed the place! It's definitely a hard position to be in. I hope you get the house... it sounds gorgeous! :)

  2. Thanks, it is. Our last renters turned out to be growing pot in the basement, so that was why they never let us in to inspect the place. When they moved out they broke the keys in the locks so we had to drill the locks off to get in! They were a nightmare!
