House Junkie

I am a HGTV junkie. I admit it. I love watching home flips, remodels, design shows, home sale shows, whatever works! I think it's the line of work I'm in, I enjoy construction and home design. It is this love that is probably driving the desire to buy a home--a place I can our own--put up crown moulding, change out door hardware, upgrade plumbing fixtures, get a soaking tub... the list of options is endless!

We spoke to our landlady about buying the home we're in, but they're not interested in selling anytime soon, so we're back to square one.

It's probably for the best as we really need a house with more space: a driveway that doesn't scrape the nose of the cars every time you leave, a house where you don't have to go outside to get to the laundry room in the garage, a large kitchen with a pantry and a dishwasher, a bath-tub that works, a garage with a workshop and space to store our garden supplies, and a yard with sun to grow tomatoes and our favorite veggies...

In order to get that out here, we'll more than likely have to get a tear-down, and hope it doesn't fall in on us while we slowly remodel it. So I guess the shows may be worthwhile after all.
