WOW!! We made it. My husband the crazy man packed both vehicles. I drove the truck he drove the Jeep. Do you see the trailer attached to the Jeep yes that is a big role of suran wrap holding our belongings along with straps. By the time we got to the house we had talls fallowing us. We woke up at 4am on Friday the 1st and was finale on the freeway by 7:30am We drove to Rapid City and stayed the night we also had to fix the plastic ball going down the road so anothe big role of wrap. 6am the next morning we headed out and arrived in Sioux Falls at 5pm we got our camping trailer Jer had pulled up about a month ago. Back on the road 2 hours latter pulled up to the house the realtor was waiting. This day was the 2nd we were not scheduled to close until the 11th. The realtor gave us the keys and said we could start moving in. HURRAY. Well that is what I thought until my husband informed me we would be camping in our front yard until closing day. Well every one knows women need to shower. By Tuesday I was frustrated I had not showered and sponge bathing was not working. (we had no water and the water was shut off to the house.) So Jer decided we would go camping for one night at the camp ground in Minnesota (yes we are 10mins from Hendricks MN) We arrived at the camp ground and Jer hooks the water up to the camper while the boys and I are setting stuff up McKaden goes to the back of the camper and yells "there is water coming out of the camper" Well long story short my husband did not winterize the camper and the water heater poped and the camper floded and we still had not had a shower. Thank goodness the campground did we all showered then headed into Hendricks to see if we could get a water heater. Nope little towns don't keep those in stock so on to the next city Marshall MN. Nope they did not have one and the suggested Sioux falls that was 2hrs away. So back to the camp ground we got our trailer and headed back to the house. called the realtor to see if we could get the water on in our name. She said yes. YES WATER. NO!!!! leaks 6 different ones we had a flood in the living room coming from the upstairs bath. Pulled a portion of the ceiling off Did I mention my husband bought this house off of pictures and it was not paid for yet we still had 6 days to closing. Well we got all the pipes fixed that were leaking. Well anyways Friday came and the realtor called said we needed a check for $6464.99 we had already given a check for $1,000.00 Plus the propane tank was full that is $560.00 so we realy paid $6904.99 for this house and that was paying closing coast too. It does not need much fixing just painting and flooring. It is a 1911 house and it is fun. The city has a Mayor and population of 150 the next 2 towns are 10 mins away. It has a cafe for sale $40,000 or best offer. made $94,000 last year that would be sweet. The boys bonderies are the city of Astoria. and well their is alot of funny things that have happened I wonder if it would make a great book. The pictures of the house are how it really looks so when we finish updating it I will post more pictures.
