Long story short. Needed to find a new house that fit certain guidelines.
1) Needed to be outide an HOA
2) Close to work (Not any farther than I live now)
3) On enough land that I could build a separate garage on.
Well we found a house that met 2 of the 3. But the 3rd requirement was met since it already had an extra 2.5 garage built in the back.
So that gives me a 2 car garage built onto the house and a 2.5 in the back for a workshop.
The house was built in 1981 and hasn't seen a lick of updating except for the hot water heater, A/C, Roof. Those sorts of things. As for the living areas, they have been untouched. It's 1600sqft, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath, 2 Family rooms, Dining Room and Laundry Room with slop sink.
This is the house before we bought it. These pics were taken during my walk through. We have since moved in and started working on things.
