Stephanie and I have fallen in love with a little house very near downtown Greer. Lord willing it will be our "Dream House." It's a very quirky, older house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and an antique door bell. Ample room (and quirkiness) for entertaining other Narnian dreamers. 8o)
There are links to some images in the extended entry.
Lord willing, my uncle will be going through the house with me this Friday to look for any huge negatives. After that, we'll pray some more, and make an offer either Friday or early next week.
We're excited about the opportunity to be a part of downtown Greer and the Greer community. We're also looking forward to the opportunity to have dream-planning meetings there as well. 8o) Thank you for your prayers.

Posted by: apelles at January 28, 2004 08:19 PMWell, it seems that this house had a few not so nice features lurking under the floor and above the ceiling. The roof timbers were about three feet apart (when they should be around 16 inches). The floor had recently been "shored up" with not-the-highest-grade "shoring" (2x4's set on top of concrete blocks).
The house still wins tons of character points, but there are some deterrents that will be keeping us from getting it.
We're still on the hunt. Next time, I'll probably save the pictures and excitement until after we've had the house checked out.
Thanks for all the encouragement and prayers.
