I need your tots and pears...
Okay, EVERYONE, please think good thoughts; keep your fingers crossed (maybe your toes and eyes, too), because tomorrow (Tuesday) I am going to see the inside of the house I have been <ahem> obsessing about!! I am already envisioning myself IN the house, and deciding what I want and need to do to make it the perfect house for me. I just have not seen the inside, and I'm nervous - what if it disappoints me? What if it isn't quite what I am hoping it will be? Not that I am wound up or anything... <snort> I have been looking for many months for the perfect house, and I keep coming back to two houses - one simply was too much house for me, and this one could be perfect with $ome modification$...
One of the things I really like is that some of the land has been logged, so I could have a few RVs come camp with me! I'm going to have to put in a parking pad for the Mobile Moose Mansion II, so while doing that, I might as well have a few extra spaces available for visiting friends!!

I loved the house, as I was pretty sure I would! I am writing an offer, and have already started making arrangements for the things I want to change. I could be into the house within the next month or so depending upon the changes and additions I want. SOOOOO excited! Thanks for sharing the excitement with me!!

So .... just to make sure you aren't making my mistakes ....
I bought a huge house based on the idea that as much house as you can afford is a good investment. .... that is outdated advice. It didn't work for me. It likely won't work for you. The house owned me.
I spent so much time working so that I could afford to keep the place, I didn't have time to enjoy it.
Downsizing was such a relief, lower taxes, lower maintenance, no HOA. Less really can be more. And to think of the time and money I could have saved if I had done that in the first place!!

I downsized after my divorce, to a house with about half of the living space I'd had. I love the neighborhood and the lot, but it was just too small, and not where I wanted to be. Yes, it is going to cost more to live here, especially with the changes I have planned, but it is going to be wonderful once it is all done! Thanks for writing!
Good luck! (My mind immediately went to “Napoleon, give me your tots.)

Nothing excites me more than walking thru a house for the first time and seeing all the potential it has - what needs to go - what needs to be modified - etc etc. All the interior design laid out in my head along with ideas for the gardens outside. Good times. 
You will not be disappointed.....just open your heart and mind and unleash your imagination.....

That location is beautiful. I hope part of the woods all around there remain unlogged.

Thanks for your kind words; it is indeed beautiful! I have no plans to allow any further logging, save for perhaps a few selected trees that would be part of my careful plan to have an RV parking area for my travel trailer...
Are there blueberries growing in your woods ??

No, but I do plan on having a garden when everything else is in place!
You could install your "pool" in garage # 1 and add a car port covered enclosed to make up for the lost room digging a pool into the garage....it does not have to be ALL below ground level so a few steps up can lead a ramp or few steps down

No, I need the garages! I have two vehicles, and am looking into the purchase of a third! Besides, I want SOME sunshine, and outdoors is the only way that will happen!
@Rustee ok ....extend the plumbing and build a glass dome over your pool to keep out bugs leaves dead wood and bears
@GreenAtheist - My plan is to have a sunroom/conservatory built around and over the pool so I will be able to enclose it for safety, and to be able to swim year round.
@Rustee awesome
