Suspended the hunt.

The hunt for a new sewing machine has been put on hold, It has been superseded by a far more immediate problem.

Remember this post when I asked about how you would feel if you had to rent again after owning? 

Well its seems Im about to find out for sure.

We decided on Sunday to bite the bullet and rent this house out, we would take our time and look for something perfect and not move until we found it...

Ahem.

 As fate would have it the very next day we discovered that a trusted friend had been given notice on her lease, her landlord sold her house and she needs to find something fast. 

So it seems we have found our perfect tenant! only now we have a time limit, we need to find a new home in 6 weeks, this is not an easy task in this area as the rentals are few and far between and in high demand. 

So the sewing machine will have to wait but I couldn't be happier, this way I will actually have a room to put it in and boy am I excited about that!

 I may be a little infrequent with my post's in the next month or so as I attempt to perform real estate miracles but im sure you'll understand.

At least you wont have to listen to me whining about our lack of space any more no no you'll probably have to listen to me whining about how much fun we're having living with my mother as I wasn't able to find something in time... Now that'll make interesting blog content...cough.

Don't get me wrong I adore her, just cant live with her, not an unusual scenario im sure.

Wish me luck.

I hope it looks like this

Not super charged about my chances but im sure Ill find something good.

We did a bad thing

Yep, we did a very bad thing.

We looked at a house on the weekend.

Just to add to our confusion.

Here it is from the outside, already ticking major boxes.

2 stories, views, timber windows, garage, unrenovated, NO ASBESTOS yay. 

Couldn't wait to get inside.

 cute yes!

Only when I did; I couldn't wait to get out!

I discovered the reason why it hasn't sold.

Its unliveable.

I have no photo's because I was kinda in shock and forgot to take any.

This was not what I expected, it looks like a dream reno project from the front.

I can look past horrid amounts of squalor and neglect and see the strong bones beneath but this one had me high tailing it to the front door.

The place was tidy, it wasn't at all squalid it was just VERY VERY WEIRD. 

WAAAYY too much work!

So its a big NO.

Why then have I not been able to get it off my mind?

Ive renovated it over and over in my head.

Ive extended and solved the structural problems then I even made up more possible problems these may create and solved them too...

Im obsessed! 

I thought I said NO?

And if you think Im going back this weekend to have another look and take photo's then you'd be...

 Absolutely right.

 Give up on me people Im a lost cause.
